Concrete Laundry Tub

Down beside the shed we found a single concrete laundry tub &
the legs were under the house.
we have been renovating our laundry {before & after pics to come later}
& i was going to use it in there but thought it would look great out in the yard.
we have put it down at the bottom tap near the chook yard
very convenient for washing out water & food bowls.



the legs are buried part of the way so the sink
would fit under the tap & to give it stability




sink on, perfect height
dont ya just lov the Green inside the tub



next we layed stand stone pavers
i have been carrying these around for years,
it is great to see some have found a home

i also planted some violets in between the stone.



Finished :o)
today i will pick up some pipe so i can run the water from the waste
to the large Daphne bush pictured behind the tub

In the Chook Yard


Miss Black, Brown Betty Twins & Miss Grey


a new fence with mesh concreted in the trench
& Miss Sally walking the line


Back filled,
we will be joining another lot of chook wire on top



New Gate Posts
we reused the old gate
looking back toward the house



Miss Sally standing guard
waiting for me to come out of the chook yard




Last Saturday i came home with these 3 baby girls
the baby grey is a blue
Wyandotte
the white is a white
Wyandotte
& the silver grey is a
columbian



all three are still in the shed on their own during the day
Miss Black is pretty mean,
all she wants to do is chase them & peck.

hopefully next Friday i will let them out
in the yard for a bit,

in a separate yard & see how they go.
