We have two metal sheds in the back yard, one is full of tools the other was the chicken roost, egg laying area. It is now been over a year since we had chickens and if we get anymore can move them to the top level. I have had thoughts of quail recently as much easier to look after and only take up a 30cm (square foot) of space each, compared to chickens at a square metre. It may not happen as our Daughter in Law is getting 2 chickens this week for the now 6 year old twins to experience. Eggs aren't big in that family due to Miss G being allergic to them and so the other children have grown up not really liking eggs, odd as that sounds. Cakes and such are usually made with an egg substitute.
We have now pulled down the picket fence and the shed, the chickens got old and our son dealt with them, then we went on long caravan holidays, so never got back to it all.
This below is the other shed.
It had all the compost bins in front which have now been moved to the back garden, which I have written about before. John pulled everything down and now the gazebo is holding all the "stuff" mainly from my old garden shed. Bits of the chicken shed are all over the place.
This is the new floor that is going in, the ground at the corner end is very uneven.
The two sheds are roughly back to back so the idea is to move the chicken shed to the fenceline, as it has a roof and needs to face in towards the house, and the tool shed to where that was. Our son has been organized to help when the time comes. Such awkward things to move too.
The whole thing will be roofed over and the middle for my potting area hopefully, John has an idea to fill the fence with more tools, I see it as a seedling working area, more table than anything else, and the chicken shed filled with pots and such. The other shed is filled to the knocker with tools as well and unusable for me. Living with a hoarder is not easy. There is always the gazebo I suppose, to use.
It has been raining most of the week and quite chilly, so I have lit the fire every night, just love sitting by it. I dashed out, between rain and the odd bit of sun, to bag the tomatoes as caterpillars are getting into them, and finally picked the two pumpkins, but surprised at how heavy they were, one was 1.8k and the other 1.65k. Other than that haven't done much outside, not really feeling myself, whether it is just the cold or I need a stronger medicine for the Rheumatoid, don't know, just working on crafty things.
Hope you all had a good week. Till Next Time
