Disclaimer!

It has come to our attention that 'Valley Gate' has religious connotations. For those of you who have arrived here expecting an allegory on the Gates of Jerusalem, you are going to be sorely disappointed! 'Valley Gate' is the name of the house and the association derives from the name of our road. Valley Farm is just down the road......

Hen House Part 4

We were very fortunate to receive lots of good advice on the construction of the hen house from our good friends Norman and Alec (not a couple!).

Norman sat down one evening in our kitchen (which he built - more about that in a separate post) with a sheaf of paper and a bottle of wine and sketched out details of all the joints I would need to use. 
During several site visits to inspect progress both Norman and Alec politely suggested, independently, that some bracing would be a good idea otherwise it was likely to collapse during the first storm.
I therefore spent the weekend adding corner braces as well as the roof trusses and window openings. It is  now perilously close to getting a roof.
