Another housing project for another friend

[Daryn]

My friends are looking to rehome a torte, they have spoken about it for months so yesterday I popped round to take alook around. Massive garden area with lots of options.

They have a huge shed at the bottom with a paved area which is joined to a lawned area.

The plan upto now is to cut a hatch into the side of the shed and build a double walled and insulated den inside the shed, we have spoken about using mesh or breeze blocks for added security against rats etc, the electrics have already been installed. Coming out of the shed hatch into a coldframe area then out of this coldframe and straight into a torte garden which will consist of soil and gravel mix, stone areas, plants and what ever else they want to add thats torte friendly, briges etc have been mentioned lol, at the bottom of this is a huge patch of lawn which will be torte proofed too for an extra leg stretching.

Looking forward to this one its a huge area.

It will be started in the next couple of weeks, photos to follow

I will say it again you need a brand Daryn !! I think you should put a stamp on your work. Something which recognises you as work evolves . Also I reckon you would be brilliant at building indoor tort tables, I got one of mine from Scotland chappie, well know auction site - cheap as chips for the size, hand made - its lovely - beats my drawer from the scrap yard - it stands as a coffee table when not in use. Ok it is a bit unusual coffee table and I did just add recycled floor boards on top - but know what no one cares or notices least of all the plant on top!

It sounds excellent and I can't wait to see your photos either. They always gives inspiration and ideas.

In lieu of Daryn's wonderful picky's because I am sure he is hard at it without time to visit the web!!! - here is mine with tortoise hatch on the right when door is closed ! Is that similar Daryn ? - this is where I will be hanging the lumisol from top to bottom too when the doors are open - when I can cut it out on a dry day !

Thats brilliant, what a torte house. Not starting this one until they come back from holidays so they might not even get a torte this year but if not it will be ready for next year and established for next year. Will have to see what they want.

Not hanging around idling MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm the wife does not see it that way lol, Im always out and about doing stuff for others that our house gets nothing done lol

thanks Daryn nice of you. Sadly that's put paid to Gordon's expectations, which was quite funny!
I reckon you should consider carpet too !

I feel the camera will be poised in next few weeks!
