So today we bought 30kg of Layer Pellets from Furneys. I'm not sure if it's too early because you are supposed to feed them "Pullet Grower" pellets until they start to lay, then switch to Layer Pellets. However I'm reasoning that they shouldn't be too far away from...
We had a bit of an episode today. Lisa (my wife) decided she was going to mow the lawn and as she went past the chicken coop they (3 chooks) freaked out and flew over the 6' high fence into our and the neighbours backyards. Lisa had to climb the fence and grab one...
Recently we became the proud owners of 4 chooks. This morning my Wife calls out and says that one of them was outside of the pen. I presume she got out by jumping onto the coop and then over the 1.8m high wire fence. Looks like I'm going to have to do some wing...

Got a roof quote today. So the eventual plan will be a new Colorbond roof with Colorbond Facia covers. A Fiberglass Wool blanket is also planned to add a little more insulation.
We are almost finished the bathroom. We have been showering for several weeks. The only unfinished portion is the sliding door which I am currently putting a coat of High Gloss Enamel in China White on it. Once that is done our atrophied social life is almost ready to...
OK. Well finally the plumbers arrived and have connected the shower, toilet, vanity, bath and floor wastes. So tonight we had our first shower. It was so nice to get clean in our own house for a change (it's been 7 months). I don't recommend taking so long to renovate...
