Built my Bug House

Post by Richard »

[center]Image[/center]

Took me six hours, unheard of for me to take that time doing something!

The frame is made from the 60 odd year old Apple Boxes in the Windmill, add to that Bamboo, Logs, Cardboard, Bark, Ceramic bits, broken roof tiles, Cones, naff bits of wood, Straw and whatever else!

Must say it suits the Garden!

It's about three feet off the ground and awiting it's first resident.

Looks spot on to me.

As they say; "if you build it they will come" - let us know if you get any interesting guests checking in :-D

That looks like a work of art! What posh bugs you'll have with a residence like that :-D

Thank you Annie.

I may put it in for the Turner Prize :-D

Every walk up the garden is an adventure. One of the nice things about either not working or being around more makes you see all the things you've missed in the past !!
