What Keeps Me Out of the Workshop
vtsteam:
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:
awemawson:
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.
Spurry:
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
