gogreengelb Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 :D Free range pigs Brian... they are all the rage... As for the base... I know what you mean.. I had the same problem when I started to build my farm mess..... it's amazing just how much room you need when you get into it isn't it \ Re free range,when last in England I noticed Tesco at Hampton in Peterborough are selling Field Reared Sausage,s ERRRRH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogreengelb Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi FB next jobs we need to repaint that grey shed a nice green colour I think,then build another but bigger,then get a fence around it and think about some sort of gravel etc.I got in my head that in will paint glue on the board and while its still tacky spread sand on it,let it dry then blow of the excess sand what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 yeah sounds good. I painted the boards grey, looked better in the sheds but also painted some grey and then PVA glue with railway ballast material over the top on the out side, roll/compact it then spray some PVA/water mix on top to seal it Old Ford also did that, TM180 may have as well? \ \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogreengelb Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I,m gonna make a few trials as sand is probably to fine.Dont laugh to loud but I think once its sealed over bird seed would look pretty much like new gravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
