Tyler has embarked on his first project for 2014 – Operation Demolish Shed (O.D.S.) in which he will dismantle the galvanised sheet-metal garden shed and prepare the parts for re-assembly as a chicken-run for the Egg-layers-to-be of Chartwell.
The first part of the task consisted of clearing the undergrowth around the garden tool-shed and exposing the timber base beam half-buried all round the shed. A large perimeter tree had apparently been felled some time in the past, leaving the rotting trunk.
After three days of unscrewing panel components and the two large roofing sections, Tyler agreed to “pose” with the final “rear” panel before removing it completely. He had the vision to index-label each of the 20 individual wall panels at the start, so that re-assembly would be an easier job. Here he stand next to panel B(ack)2 of 6.
The panels were all carried down to the shed outside the proposed chicken run, in readiness for their cleaning, de-rusting and re-painting.
The A-Frame which will be refurbished to house future hens and chicks. The new Chicken Coop will be located somewhere near here. I am sure that such construction story will provide fodder for the base of a future blog or two.
