I am trying really hard to do it right. I was out there yesterday in 101 degree heat tearing the old siding off the pump house. I got about 3/4 of it off and I was so tired I had to quit. I'll be replacing it with 1/2" treated plywood. I will make it like our duck house, though, with the top half of the side walls hinged so you can let them down and have the top part screened in with hardware cloth for ventilation. In the even of really bad weather, you can close them up. I can only imagine doing that if we get a hurricane, because it doesn't get cold enough here to bother the geese. I'm thinking of paneling the inside with the plastic panels that look like tile that people use in bathrooms, so cleanup will be easy. So, now I just have to figure out for sure how big to make the automatic goose door. What is the size of an adult Dewlap Toulouse, anyway?Going bonkers, I will do what I can to get pics of the feeders and post them.
Lightning, you are getting good answers on door size. Just wanted to say I think it's awesome you are going the extra mile to provide your pair a palace.
Ultasol, cute picture! I love watching my geese run around with pieces of watermelon rind in their mouths. They look like they are having a lot of fun.
Celtic, it is a bummer, but they were back for dinner feeding time, so I think they are getting over it. Whew!
I"m sorry the geese were mad at you after the roundup, but according to your later post it looks like they have forgiven you. So, hopefully all is well.
