Moved the Cockerals

Well i finally got them moved to the piece of land i am renting, its a small pen but will have to do for the time being, they are quite happy it seems, its all go on the chicken house building front, got to make 4 this week and have to have them ready for Saturday, 2 of them want pens making too, I have had Tom helping me again today, he is great and willing to do most jobs, or at least try, i can see him doing well, it nice to have him for company too, even though he don't say much lol, here are a few pictures to keep you going for now....

Busy weekend

It has been a busy weekend, sold 2 hen houses to some very nice people, they had some hens too, i do hope they enjoy them, they also had a bird table, and have ordered another, the hen houses they took were ones i had built for my own hens, so i have had to start over, and make myself some new ones, i got one finished yesterday, and the lad i have help me has painted it forest green.
I had my son George with me all weekend, he is 18 and usually is off with his girlfriend, it was a really great weekend we didn't have a single argument, i think if he really put his mind to it he would be a great woodworker, he has made a couple of really nice wheelbarrow planters, i will add the photo's later, he made them from taking a template from the one my Wife was given by a plant firm, and has enlarged the template to make larger ones, they look really good...

I have been feeling really worn out lately, but have been unable to sleep more than a couple of hours at a time, i think its just worry LOL

Clean up

Have had a friend in ( Tom ) to give me a hand cleaning up, and having a general tidy up, still not got round to the bench ARGHHHHH!!! i have to do it soon.... I think i have found the best house to make..see pictures

the chairs below are for sale at £15 each

Creature comforts

The workshop is becoming a home from home, coffee table and easy chairs LOL you think I'm joking have a look

New Bench

I made my main working bench in a bit of a hurry and didn't get it quite level, so next week i will re-build it and make it true, its not helped by being on the mill waste, but i will get round it some way..
I am missing the guys at Poultry chat, they are a great bunch of very knowledgeable people on there, and if you ever need to know anything about keeping poultry thats the place to go, there a link to it at the bottom of my blog, there is also a link to a place that sells great FREE RANGE PORK and eggs, Mill house just outside Melton Mowbray on the Leicester Road, i had some Liver from her the other day and it was Beautiful, so if you fancy some really well cared for pork give them a ring

Portable Duck pond/bath

I have just made this pond for ducks, it movable and quite light weight when empty, about 5 feet long and 3'6" wide, 10" at the deepest, i have made a ramp for the ducks to waddle up, a bloke down the road is going to field test it for me, he has a few ducks in his back garden, i have been a bit stupid and painted the fibreglass and will have to scrub it off

New " OLD " Timber

I have just found a large pile of timber, its all reusable, just needs de-nailing, i hope to get it today with luck, it will ideal for making chicken runs and the like, some lengths are 12 feet long, well most of it is really, but after reworking it will get smaller.
I was given some MDF off cuts the other day, i don't usually use MDF, but as it was free what the heck lol, i made a nice chair from some of it, now i can sit and watch the chickens in comfort while i eat lunch.
I cant go into the workshop straight away today, i have to wait for some guys to collect our old TV, we have always rented our TV, but I have bought one from eBay, they are going to collect the old one this morning I hope, i would like them here as early as possible, i have lots to do at the workshop, sorting out this new timber is the main job, it needs de-nailing then sorting into usable and sizes etc.

Photobucket Album

I haven't had a lot of spare time lately, i have been making bird nesting boxes and tables for a local firm, they paint them up and sell them on, also just got some more work from a Cane furniture company, they are moving premises and want me to do some chippy work for them, today i did a stud wall, tomorrow i have to make an office space, its all good, its just a shame i come home in such pain, this Arthritis is a bug-er......... Still i am enjoying myself, and its nice to meet so many new people
