If I Had A Hammer...
... I'd whack myself on the fingers again!
Well, much pain, blood, swearing, getting drenched in the rain later, and the hen-house is actually looking like one
The walls are built, the roof is on, and the door is on. The ventilation grille is actually two layers of wire interleaved, and it was whilst clipping that on that i impacted my index finger rather than the nail. What fingers i have without black nails, or holes in them, have had the nails split off.
So, whats to do now? well, the brood-boxes need building and attaching, the ventilation grille needs a wind baffle fitting, the roof needs felting, the pop-hole needs a door and runners, the door needs bolts, the legs need fitting, the ramp needs building, and the whole lot needs sealing and painting. So, just a couple of little jobs then.
Its very cosy inside though, i had a sit in it. If i were homeless i'd find some pallets, scrounge a hammer and nails and build one of these to live in.
I have no idea how im going to get it down the garden though, its become very heavy. I might have to put wheels on it!
Onto more normal things. The mushrooms didnt turn out as planned
but the one i have had so far was very tasty. Ive started digging off the turf for the potato patch, and the sprouts, broadbeans and garlic are coming along nicely. Ive added some more compost to the mushes to see if i can coax a better crop out of them. Ive also planted six acorns, which hopefully will fulfill my wish to grow an oak tree. The acorns have come from the old oak tree i used to play in as a kid behind my mums house, that tree has survived several generations of treehouses and climbing, so should be good stock.
