The days remain grey and mostly raining off and on. So outside progress is slow. Plus its a bit unmotivating!!
Lets soap update first!
The butterfly ones ended up turning out rather cute!
I finally got to cutting the slab mould soaps too
I made a loaf with activated charcoal yesterday – with luck the cut will reveal veins of gold. (Fingers crossed)
My friend Nardia (the lady who I have done a bit of hiking with) owns a local shop. She’s asked if I can do just plain goats milk soaps as she’s had requests. So I started on making a supply. Easy to make a double batch of the unscented and uncoloured soap – not sure how much I’d need in reserve but we’ll work that out as we go along
So… back to the chook run!
I was excited that we snagged a bit of non raining day to put up some shade cloth!
I’d been itching to do this bit!
We just popped one of the old bits of tin up against it to get an idea of looks
Jeff reckons that with all the effort we should get new tin and I agree.
It would probably be cheaper too than painting the old stuff – can always find another use for the old stuff
I miscalculated the size of the roll so we’ll need to grab another roll of shadecloth
I think we’ve worked out how we are going to go about the roof – just need a nice day to get in and get on with it.
Update… I’ve found where we got the tin from for the garden fence and they can cut to size too ($1 extra per sheet! Sold!)
Just have to go and get some precise measurements and email it through… then we can go and collect.
Things are moving along!
Hope everyone’s week has started fabulously!
Cheers!
(Cold weather comfort food… banana muffins of course!)
