Jez Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 enough shed building :D get the silage done so we can all drule over your pics :D only joking mate keep the shed building up making fine progress Patience Muzza, patience Looking good Jez, very nice build looking forward to seeing the complete finish. I often thought about doing something with the Britains Atcost shed, now I think I just might. Thanks Garret, any more shipping you need? :D Right, I had a few minute tonight so I thought I would draw a rough idea of what Two Oaks will look like one day or possibly if I can get it to a show. Hopefully the drawing makes sense. Ideally I would like a farm house and an old style brick building like the one in model tractor magazine last month from George Poole. The drier would take a lot of time and money so won't be built for a while. The second cattle building would be one with a centre feed passage and a few pens either side for finnishing the cattle.

MJB1 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Looking good Jez, very nice build looking forward to seeing the complete finish. I often thought about doing something with the Britains Atcost shed, now I think I just might. well done jez all looks well when it's all together i think we've all had ideas about the britains shed garret, even Warner Hall, the chap who designed them said he had bigger ideas for them, he wanted them modular , so that different variations of the farm shed could be made or extended, with various attatchments, such as doors & windows , unfortunately britains thought it was good enough as it was & didnt persue the idea any further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallclaas Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Like the plan for the layout Jez, you'll have a busy time building all that, lookin forward to seeing it complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 A few updates on the cattle shed. As you can see I have got the wall in at the back of the shed and some supporting uprights. A bit of foliage and grass to add a bit of realism. I have also got the doors fitted at the end of the feed passage way. They both open and have latches. Enjoy!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 A few more: I have also got the water trough plumbed in but the cattle are out at the moment. The last things to do are to finnish the last door on the other side and also make up some more feed barriers to go along the front. I am hoping to put up some yorkshire boarding along the back and side but will wait till i go to the golden arches and borrow get some supplies.
