SMurF Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thank you all, makes it so much more pleasing when things are appreciated by others :) I was hoping to spray it this evening but I'm ferrying grain from a Lexion! Marcus, box profiling may well have suited the gates better in all honesty but I didn't have the right size to go with. I am still unsure as to make this the beefginings of a new farm or [glow=red,2,300]continue the original plan for Leverets to continue it's time line [/glow] Just think of it as a natural progression of an expanding farming enterprise as i was told that leverets has aqired more land off of a neighbouring farm so it must expand its livestock buisiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. van Eekelen Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Really a lovely shed! You've builded it wonderfull Tris. I build a few frames from polystyrene once, but that wasn't the biggest success for me, ha ha. Did you used wood to build buildings also? The fir wood I use, is the same wood as the French- colleagues use for there buildings! It's super to use, and you can do almost everything with it. I am folowing this for sure!

Deere-est Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 I only use wood once for my old barn circa 1800's. Many barns around me are steel or stone so I like to copy these. I have painted the shed framework now and will paint the 'concrete' area soon. Thank you for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 I forgot to say, the walls will be 3mm MDF board and painted like concrete. About 6cm high and the top part clad with wooden slats, "Yorkshire Boarding". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Thanks Jezzle. It will indeed have the Straw from Mandy and I was thinking how to blend it, your idea could be the answer, with the odd dab of brown silicon for a cow pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Think I will have to dye the straw first somehow to take the newness away from it. Certainly a way of doing it looking at your load anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
