Making progress on "Central Perk"

[michellers]

This weekend if dedicated to Operation "Get The Messy Ducks Outside". Rachel and Phoebe want to be outside and I want them outside!



Supplies





The FREE pool I picked up thanks to an awesome couple and a "freecycle" community. Brand new!



Paint!



Getting the hardware cloth on.




Dug a bit to help with drainage.



Ta da!



Just finished before it started to rain. Coop walls will be put together today and placed on the gravel. I will be using sand on top of the gravel to be better on the ducksters feet. Pool will be elevated on one side of the run so that I can use gravity to my advantage and be able to change the water out freqently.

So excited!

That is so nice. But where's their house?

 

[michellers]

Haven't gotten that far yet. I have a plastic dog house, but planning on building a wood duck house.

Shingles are on now.

There was an awesome wood dog house that would have been perfect at a swap meet the other week. My hubz insisted on taking his car there instead of my truck, so we had no way of taking it home. I was bummed because there was no way I could duplicate it for the amount of money the guy wanted. And it was never used too. Grr!

That is really nice and you scored the pond for free?

How are you going to get them in it? or are you digging it down.

That's too bad, next time don't listen to hubs.

Exactly - lesson learned! He was bummed too because he saw a garden tractor he wanted. Haha!

Ready to make more progress today!

Lola and Scout were the building inspectors last night.


Just fits!



Today's goals: - get drain in pool, elevate it with bricks (eventually will be boxed in with a ramp/steps), put sand on the floor, add playwood on the sides about 12" or so to help keep the sand in. And of course build a door!
