Urban Homesteading Marathon Weekend!

Well, we did SO much work in the garden this weekend (when I say we, I mean Dave, a bit of Smash, while Snail, Lolly and I were out enjoying the garden sunshine and lending moral support!). D finished the rails and supports on the wheelchair ramp (yay for him, it's a friggin masterpiece!). On Sunday he built a garden bed and got the chicken coop ready. Here are some shots - getting the wood ready - next to the existing vege patch which we planted out a couple of weeks ago:


Here is the finished product. Well, almost, it needs dirt obviously!



Here is the chicken house inside the coop, Dave installed a new, improved ramp (ironically with offcuts from the wheelchair ramp), and a door that latches for collecting eggs.


Here is Smash breaking into the coop...


And finally, after all that, we got four chickens!!!




Here is Smash and Snail "helping" - Smash is transporting chicken feed down the stairs on his skateboard (as you do), while Snail "wants whatever that is RIGHT NOW!" :-)


And where is bub during all this? In the Ergo of course!
