Two years ago our wellie wearing family moved to the rolling wet hills of Mid Wales. We decided to grow our own fruit and veg, keep bees, poultry and build our own furniture with little or no experience.



This is our journey to the good life.

Poultry Food Shelter

The benefit to having lots of shed building is the stuff you can make with the offcuts.

We had been storing the chicken and quail food in a shed by way of plastic boxes but we noticed a determined little mouse had managed to nibble through and end up in a rodent paradise of 20kg sacks of sunflower seeds. We were also getting fed up with it taking up space and having to unlock and relock the shed every feeding time.

So in an hour or so we managed to shove some wood together with a bit of old corregated iron we spotted in the shrubbery - jetisoned by the last owners?

Add some solid metal bins and we know have a poutlry feeding station with space for unused feeders.
