graham Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 nice update dan nice pics ;)is that a fullwood parlour going in the cleared ground is for new building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 nice update dan nice pics ;)is that a fullwood parlour going in the cleared ground is for new building a de-lavel is going to be put in. the old parlour will get dismantled and knocked down and AI pens, collecting yard etc will go in its place. Its been done so that it is all contained in the 1 shed just to make the working day a bit more efficient. the cleared ground i believe is for implements and things. at the moment they take up valuable shed space and it was waste ground there before.
