I think it's earth under the accumulated years of who knows what farmers crap , I've had so much to do on the house so the workshop set up has been pushed back & back unfortunately. I've taken 6 months off work , as being a class 1truck driver doesn't give me much time at home to rest, let alone do some work on the house. Picture's will be up when I get back from Prague in a few day's. Smiffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Midlife Posted December 27, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just a few quick pictures for now as it's very cold here today & it's also windy so I'm hiding indoors trying to get a cutting list together for the 13 doors, 10 windows & 8 roof windows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Good looking shop helpers! I like the goose or is it a duck? Shop looks really neat. How cold exactly is cold to you? It's -23C here right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPDX Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Is that a pet goose? And apparently the goose and the dog get along....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlife Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 It's just above freezing now but the wind is strong so it feels more like -10c,, plus I'm only just getting over a man cold. The temp will be +10c by the weekend... It's a Swan goose called pipla, he has 15 brothers and sisters, he doesn't mix with the other geese much as when he hatched he got stuck to the shell and was on his last leg's, we got him into the house and my wife & kid's nursed him for a few weeks and now he thinks he's human 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very social animals, I've always wanted a trio of ducks for pets. Had some when i was younger and they were a riot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlife Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 And they are great for letting us know when people are around, normally the people are shouting and running away from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
