Rabbithunter 456 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 The work on the run has been on the 'backburner' for a while, while I was getting inside of the house done. Well today I did the roof. My mate built it, I did the woodwork roof and mesh. I got the mesh for,free, and it needs a spray to tidy it up. I havent been keeping a track of how much its cost, but id say around £600 Just need some 'fascia' boards on to tidy up the front and sides 6 Quote Link to post

Snifferboy 659 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ideal, I have started one myself got the base finished at last. Got all the materials to continue and all it has done is f@cking rain since! Does my swede in!!! A lot of hard work has gone into it so far, foundation's, large soakaway, a course of blocks all round to bring it up to level as the ground was so far out, drains in for the Kennel on one side, sink/wash out area/game prep, then shed nearest the chicken run. Its gonna be a labour of love, but, will be great when it is done, then I can get me new pup! Quote Link to post

Rabbithunter 456 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Sounds good snifferboy. I was lucky in the fact I didnt need to dig footings.. Mine is built straight onto a large concrete pad that was aleady there... So with the wall that seperates bed/run and a pillar built in, then its as strong as it needs to be Quote Link to post
Rabbithunter 456 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I will be latting & cladding the outside & also putting a DP membrane. So it will just look like a gardem shed & I dont think there'll be an issue with water ingress, cheers Quote Link to post
