Andrew, do you have pigs for the new house already? |
| awemawson:
Steve yes I've pigs ready to be rehoused! We originally had a pig run that was earth and just mesh fenced, and they were everlastingly getting out. It had a conventional corrugated pig arc as housing. Then I tried electric fence to keep them off the mesh, but growth foliage kept defeating it. So I cut a panel out of a 20 foot square open tank and welded a gate on in it's place which certainly keeps them in but they are rather out of the way hence building the first Pig Palace. Blossom the sow presented me with 6 offspring and when they need weaning they went in the tank. So the idea is that Blossom goes in the new place and her weaners go where she has been. |

Hi there, Andrew, They're looking for the culprit who did this: Can you give Brian a good alibi! :lol: :ddb: :lol: :ddb: :lol: :ddb: |

Well Pete 'where is Brian?' is actually a very good question - he was supposed to be here at lunchtime to do the pillar tops and roof ridge and verges, but there's no sign of him :bang: I made an early start to finish off the tiling ready for him, and as I got to the last few rows realised I was going to be one "tile & a half" short - I have literally hundreds of the plain tiles but must have miscounted those. Fortunately my local supplier was open on a Saturday morning, so I made a quick dash off site to collect. These are the slightly darker coloured alternate tiles at the verges, and are obviously made to metric standards, as the recycled plain tiles hang 1/4" lower on the battens. So assuming Brian eventually re-surfaces and finishes his part of the job, all I have to do apart from a major tidy up is plumb in the water trough and an outside bibcock. |

Andrew This has been a very interesting thread, so sorry for the silly question, but how is the new palace ever cleaned out? Or, are you on very friendly terms with Snow White? Pete |
