We had a shed in the garden, a common shed in a fairly common garden in the middle of England. Nothing remarkable to say about this shed, it even had a leaking roof similar to many other sheds. Contrary to many of the gardens/yards shown in other blogs ours is not measured in hundreds of feet...
I couldn't get it on Google books for some reason (maybe geography), but it is available elsewhere as a PDF which I found easier as it means I can carry it with me where ever I go!

I'm still in the thick of the build, but with any luck it's be populated by the time this contest is called to a close...
Its very much a "what have we got lying around the garden" approach, but having to spend some money where its important.

Thanks for that image, it helps a lot.
I'm converting half a garden shed into a coop at the moment, I think I'll cut a hole in the bottom of the buckets as they will up against the dividing wall, and then add a hatch on the wall so I can just reach through from our side of the shed...
I like this, rather than spending silly amounts of money on nest boxes I can go down to my local homeware shop and just buy some buckets.
One question, do you have anything to stop the buckets from moving around? Is the frame shaped to accept the buckets or do they just sit on a flat shelf...
