When we are done I may be able to provide those of you who like such things, sizes & dimensions & such like but just now most things are predetermined by the size of the ply so we don't have to cut as much. My man's back is held together with screws & bits of other people's bone & everything has to be done @ a snail's pace or neither of us can manage.
This morning we put on the roof trusses, 2 walls into the nesting box area & the floor. It is squarer than it looks in my photos.
While the man was resting I finished filling the bottom garden bed & will eventually pop my franjipani back into the ground. I think I will wait a bit though. Quite a few things have got damaged as we lumber around.
This afternoon we will hinge & hang the nesting box lids ~ & yes, I like to come in from above. Less chance of accidents with those precious eggs! The open area here is for my bins. Then there are the roosts & we need paint for my rooves & floor ~ a job for Tuesday when we are back on the mainland ~ again! And we still have all the posts & trusses to put in for the netting because I insisted I be able to stand up inside so I can reach everything. I also want to be able to put up some outside roosts & I have some nice big logs to roll round & get inside the run for interest's sake.

The man is deaf & I don't do well in crowds of people I don't know. I can manage 1 or 2 on a good day but generally I'm very anti~social ~ apart from being vegetarian & loathing any & all seafood ~ which most people round here love! Just the smell makes me feel ill. We wiggled out with thanks & apologies.
... we stopped cuz we haven’t eaten anything since breakfast.... hoping to get hubs back out there after we eat... but I don’t know.. I’m pretty worn
