Chook annex rebuild - Part 11 Final

Ridge capping to complete

Dropped into Bunnings on the way back from Waverley Gardens to buy some ridge capping for the annex. Need a 3 metre length but the only had 2.4’s so ended up buying 2 @ $34.43 each.

Chook annex rebuild – Part 10

Wire barrier skirt - Finishing

Weather didn't look to good this morning and surprised it cleared as well as it did so back out to finish stapling the wire skirt to the base timbers so we can screw on the plinth boards. The final bit for this phase of the job is to back-fill and level the soil - all of a sudden the site looks neat and tidy.

Finished along the back, Speckles and Misty are inspecting the job.

Chook annex - Part 9B

Finishing the gate

Gate accessories fitted and final strip of cage wire on the left stapled down.

I'm using 150mm fence palings as plinth boards around the base and when I paint those I'll also do the left jamb. Before I fit the boards I'll dig out around the base some more and bury all the left over wire as a fox barrier.

Wire Barrier Skirt - Prepping

Finished painting all the plinth boards yesterday evening and today more digging so we can lay down wire mesh around the annex base. In for a break now which could be an extended one as it looks like rain is on the way.

Dug out the front and....
