ratchers Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 500 hundred up. Was down at the farm for only the second time in two months due to the weather conditons(but have been controlling nearer to home)and bagged a grey wandering through the wood, and saw a second, so something to look forward to. Famer informs me apart from the crows and magpies queueing up to get his lambs, theres quite a few rats about. Gonna be an enjoyable few weeks ahead. 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 It is very novel though.Ā Just a thought ...making those could be part of team Tractors offer of joinery classes.Ā He always has a stack of off cuts about, more than adequate for that job. I saw an intruder in my wood this morning so might be able to add one without breaking the stay at home rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
