Ukroosterman 548 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 They look great mate... Wish I was as good with my hands... Put some more pics up as you progress.... What do you plan to uses as a roof?... If I can one tip make sure you uses stiff wire mesh no the chicken mash as it tends break with time and birds can get out.....
