Free Hutches....

[ryaldinhio 4,694]

Are my old hutches of any use to anyone? The big one is double tiered, made from 2x2 and either 12 or 18mm marine ply so it's very heavy! Couple of the doors have blown so would recommend replacing and there is a patch repair required where water bottle used to be. I had undercover so if you were putting outside it will need treating and probably felt the roof.

Other one was my seg wing. Double stacked single hutch. Used to put hobs in there in season or Jill's with kits. That is treated and felt roof already. Maybe benefit from replacement hinges.

Collection only, Fishlake, Doncaster.

I packed in keeping em a couple yr back because of work commitments, still get out with a mate of mine, when I get back into keeping them I've got a nice little spot sorted off the edge of the drive for a breeze built ferret court. Maybe get on with build early next year for next summer kits.

I think it was the Xmas break of 83 that I was a twinkle in my dad's eye . 

They will rue shutting the pits now, we still have some of the best coal but no one to mine it. 2yrs ago I was getting ovals at 16.50 a bag, now I'm told it will be 45 by October, expected to go up more over winter.

But we will do f**k all other than government making deals that we will pay for at some point anyway .

There is a massive collapse on its way, we are really close, if she holds it off it'll still come soon.

People will realise the only way to be secure is self sufficient, that applies to the country as much the individual. We are a tiny island that imports everything nowadays.
