I suppose if it doesn't work out as a vege garden it will make a good aviary.

It looks just like one!

So, I have an aviary.










This is from the Woodstore roof, which shows the two structures joined at the corner>











Not all of the copper wire joins are as neat as this, but there are mostly pretty good. I had (have) a split in my right forefinger and pushing 40 metres of copper wire through those 25mm holes was MURDER!


There are 1.85 kilos of staples in it, which represents about 1850 staples. A professional would have probably used less, but they prolly don't have to satisfy any over-engineering bug.








These board-walks are the Western Red Cedar skirting boards that came out of an old house reno a few months ago. Given the durability and lightweight, I thought this might be a good use for them. They have a billion layers of old lead paint on the bottom side, so I covered that with two coats of bitumen (didn't fancy taking it off with the thicky for a few reasons).



There's 13 cubes of Vege Topsoil mix (@ $75 per) under those boards - all barrowed down from the front footpath 40 metres up the hill.

The Unistrut channel and wheels should be here pretty soon, so I can make the sliding doors. In the mean time I'll recommence work on the plumbing, and start planning the plant-out (in Excel, of course, as one does).

nice chook house!

A period of potentially less cold and less rain. They only real tell is the longer daylight hours 😂

You do realize that we expect to see the prize winning vegies at the Royal Easter Show after a gold plated effort on the construction, not to mention a gourmet spread at the next GTG
