DeQuolling on New Years Day!

Happy New Year to everyone! Geoff and l had an early night in preparation for our big Chook House build today!  With the wheelbarrow full of tools,Lilli was ready to go.
Here is the shed as it was. NOT Quoll proof.
Everyone settled down to watch
Basking in the sun between the showers.
Mr Magnificent got bored after  a while and wandered off into the paddock for some R& R on his own.
By late morning we had the door on. $2 from the Tip Shop. A useful bargain!
And started putting the ceiling in. The whole shed is very very badly built as we discovered. Nothing is plum and nothing lined up! Everything had to be tailor made to fit each space. Even these sheets of ply had to be wider at one end then the other! Very frustrating and made for slow progress.
Both sheets up. Now to screw them all in.
The construction site was disrupted a few times by determined hens wanting to use their laying boxes by hook or by crook!
One quite happily sat in her nesting box to lay her egg as we banged and crashed, nailed and drilled around her!
By very late afternoon early evening we were finally done! Safe, secure , sturdy and warm
Mr Magnificent came back and was suitably impressed!
If any quoll gets in there he is Super Quoll!
Happy snug safe chooks! Phew! They even have a flash red ceiling!!!
AND next door neighbour approved!!
