One old cupboard drawer, saved from our allotment, alittle bit of lead - stolen from the local church, some left over paint and half an hour later

Mr luvpie




(oh the lead actually was found in our shed when we moved in, 7 yrs late we have finally found a use for it!)
the ever growing luvpie household currently contains, 4 boys, 4 chickens, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 4 fish, an empty tropical fish tank waiting new arrivals, now are we daft to look at our broody hen thinking, if we got some fertilised eggs........

Very nice Mr Luvpie :thumbright: It looks very professional.
I usually keep things for years and years, too, then I give in, get rid of them, then think of a use for them :? :lol:

I was out walking the dog t'other day and a house was having a new roof fitted... All that timber just sitting there.... I even got the blokes on the site to deliver it for free in their wagon so there will be plenty of winter jobs to do now in the cold garge over winter... but it will come in handy...

I think it took him slightly more than that! Although to be honest most the time was spent shaving mm's off either end of the shelf till it was the right length (I was a little dissappointed that he didn't cut that little bit too much off, as that would have been comedy gold!)

The hour it took has now meant that we have since spent 2hrs clearing the old passion flower and jasmin off the garden shed, so that there is somewhere to put the box, and 7hrs clearing the inside of the garden shed, it had been soundproofed, so that he can actually fix it to the shed! Only another couple of days worth of work before that can be done!!!

Isn't it amazing how one little nice thing turns into so much work!
