Clearing the bottom two terraces

We decide to make the small bottom terrace our veg garden, Pete cut the grass then got the rotavator on it, it took a good few days of going over it but he got there in the end. However being Wales we do get our fair share of rain and the village we live in translates in English to "Marsh land" so we thought it was best to make raised beds. We also had a nice new potting shed/greenhouse delivered and of course as usual decided to put it up ourselves rather than pay the extortionate assembly fee these companies charge. Assembling something on a slope is a lot harder than you think it is and there was quite an amount of bodging to do but we got there in the end.

I've always wanted chickens ever since I was a little girl and my Grandad always used to bring home a box of tiny yellow chicks for us at Easter, (strangely I never wondered where he got them from or where they went after Easter). We initially were going to get a small ark that we could move around the garden but after reading vast amounts of chicken info we decided to make a big walk in run for them on the narrow terrace near our new veg garden, this had once been a greenhouse of sorts so had a good solid base and walls. Back to the local timber supplier for a load of 2x2 and weld mesh and Pete and I get back to work again.

It took a couple of days to finish it completely making all the panels up first and then putting it all together, I'm very pleased with the finished result and can't wait to get the chickens.
