Day 2 of construction progress

Construction continued today with Ste putting the final 2 upright supports on the run and knocking down the last section of the concrete walls. Here he is stratching his head deciding what to do next!



The filter bay area was cleared out ready for building the hen house.



Ste then put cross-braces throughout the run to ensure it will stand up to the heavy winds.



...and then he put together the structure for the drop down hatch to allow the chickens to enter the run from their house.



Construction of the hen house started using the decking that had previously surrounded the concrete walls of the pond.



Ant's dad helps out as the pent roof starts to take form.



At the end of day 2 the hen house is built.



The job list for tomorrow includes building the front door for the house with built in nesting boxes, putting the door into the main run and painting all the wood.
