    Two hours. Chilly and grey. A while ago a rat chewed through one of the vent holes in the coop. I blocked it off with some mesh and if the rat was getting into the coop after the food, it was doing it after the auto door opened in the morning. Annoying but not a major issue. This afternoon I...

    They're woolen fishermen's jumpers.

    They're going to be messing about with time measurement on the last Sunday of this month. I'm just on the outside of the Bristol City rush hour, bearing in mind of course nobodies rushing due to vehicle and pedestrian congestion; unless one counts the retards on the electric scooters weaving on...

    Waiting for a wool wash to finish. I swear by my Merino wool and lambswool clothing. Keeping them clean and something like their original shape is inconvenient though.

    Much like myself then: apart from the species bit.:p

    Two and a half hours. Grey and damp at 14C.

    Now I think that's a good looking hen. She looks like what an efficient forager should in my view. Unfortunately, Sylph has that same look and she's nothing like as good as Mow.:lol:

    Thanks for the response. There wasn't really an issue because i bought a recycled plastic coop.:)

    Two and a half hours. Dry, with some sunshine late afternoon. I've been busy and didn't get around to taking any pictures bar these two.

    It would be nice to have at least one function working properly.:p

    We didn't get taught much grammar at school. It wasn't until I learned some German that the importance of it became apparent. My grammar is pretty dire because of how I was taught English. I use the word one rather than you, because I've had a few people take you as personal rather than general...

    No.. There are grades and different woods and adhesives used. The most obvious thing to the eye is it should have no voids in the compressed sheets of wood.

    I found much the same when altering the Solway coop; plus those plastic swarf spirals are hot straight off the drill! However, one can tap a thread into plastic. Very difficult to do with any construction grade wood. I cut a thread and used bolts for fixing the bits I have on the Solway coop...

    There is a reason, a few in fact. I want to be able to site the coop on the ground if required. This means the coop needs to be detachable from any base it sits on. The next Nestera option for this coop going up the range does provide legs but the legs are not long enough. It costs £80.00 more...

    I've been thinking again. Yeah I know it's dangerous. I built the frame the large Solway coop sits on out of wood and OSB board. The board is already suffering from the elements and rat chewing. Marine ply would help and the coops I built in Catalonia with marine ply fared better in all...

    Still on the subject of language... My favourite new word is mansplaining. Favourite expression, doomscrolling.
