The purchase of Myrtle Barn and adjacent land has given Melv and Sal the opportunity to follow their passions for being innovative, growing fresh food, and of course keeping chickens. But there is lots to do to turn this vision into a reality and the starting point is a big clean up!
Having a foot print of over 500 square metres the barn is an excellent size, but this also means that there is lots to do, inside and outside, both to have a blitzing clean up, but also to deal with any structural stuff so that it is fit for purpose.
There was internal and external structural stuff, clearing old concrete feeders, repairing the roof, clearing the gutters and tidying up the outside just to list a few.
With a bit of help from a hired in mini digger, it didn't take long to clear a significant space inside, which we had eared marked for the new chicken coup.
The outside was more cosmetic and for aesthetic purposes really and we decided that the best solution for covering the severe corrugated iron exterior was wooden cladding and my didn't it look smart.
And this is just the start...
