A-Frame Goose House Milled And Built In Two Days

This week I started building our new Solar system mount but at very short notice some geese came up for sale. We have wanted geese for a while now due to there diet. chickens really retire grain feed and it isn't sustainable in these uncertain times. Geese can get by just fine foraging on grass and plants so for us they seem like a great addition to the small holding. We now have sheep geese and chickens. And they all have lovely houses.

I read the entire Ryan’s ru-vid.comUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.

Kris I honestly am amazed by the amount of change that we can all see within you, from the day that you arrived upon the land that you bought to now has been nothing more than just epic. For a while there I thought you might be going alone for the journey that you was on but then you and Dot found each other and it's very clear for all to see that this young lady is definitely the one for you. Since you got together it's certainly showing that you are now back on track with your goals and moving forward at a greater pace than you had for a while. I have been watching your channel since the very early days of when you purchased the land all the way to now and honestly it's amazing to see the changes that you have made and I can't wait to see what's next for the both of you. As for the A-frame I agree you certainly could have done with that at the beginning of your journey it would have been luxury especially when you was out in ALL the elements sleeping in that rickety tent you had, it alway makes me laugh when you hear about home builders who have spent a winter or two in a caravan etc while building their new house and winging about how crappy it was. They should have tried to survive the way you did then they would have something to moan about. Congrats buddy and keep the good work going you will both achieve your goals in the end that I am very certain of!!!

Maybe get a few Bonsai trees ... and "build to scale"? And if you add some miniatures to the diorama it also gets a life of its own. All you need then is a bunch of "forest noises" from CD or elsewhere ...

@@artfx9 It isnt about the plants ... but rather about "the joy of building something out of wood". I have created several buildings in "miniature size" out of wood ... and it is quite nice. Also: having a "scene" / "landscape" is quite different to "having lots of plants". They are "your scale", but with Bonsai and miniature scale it is different, because you can allow your mind to roam and create "adventures" which the "inhabitants of your buildings" have. "A potted plant" is just "a potted plant".

Kris beware young goslings can find it difficult to get out of water, at that age they will quickly drown. I did something similar for my goslings when they were a little older than yours left them to it whilst we went out for the afternoon came home to find they had splashed so much water out of the tub they could not get out, two very exhausted little goslings in the water the male holding his sisters head out of the water, what a little hero, god only knows how long he had been supporting her on his neck like that. We rushed them into the house wrapped them in old towels and placed them in a large cardboard box with a wrapped hot water bottle covered with hay, come fist light they felt well enough to get out of the box and wreck the kitchen. Moral of the story make sure they have a safe way out.

Anyone that's followed your channel for any length of time knows you _really_ use your tools, they don't just sit around looking pretty. Best mark of confidence a tool manufacturer could hope for. And the geese are adorable. I suppose they'll stop sticking as a group as they get older and more familiar with the terrain. 👍️

@georgie4808 2 года назад
How lovely the goslings are. We had them growing up, they do love a cuddle if they get used to it little. Makes it easier handling them when they’re grown up if you tame them early. Sit one on your palm with their legs dangling down and a hand securing their back, they love a stroke. If they feel secure they’ll like being held once they’re used to it. My dad would talk to them going ‘cheep cheep’ and they would follow him about if he spread his arms out and called them. If you have any builder’s buckets put a big rock in and fill up with water. Geese and ducks love to dunk their heads right in and have a slurp of water and wash their eyes. Refill them with a hose regularly, daily if you can. A pond, they’ll love. Their favourite munch is grain and flaked maize mixed up with some pellets. When they nest make 1m partitions between the nest spots at the back of the house. They are very fierce when broody! They make excellent burglar alarms and guard geese! Enjoy!

He has all the tools and materials available for the build. As a german I would "nag" that it isnt using the traditional woodworking methods to connect the parts with each other ... and this can/will be unraveling the hut in maybe 10 years. The tarp will also become full of holes, so the waterproofing of the roof needs to be beefed up. Adding thickness to the roof / sides would also improve insulation, which could be great for very hot days and really cold winters.
