We have a stretch of scrub next to the playground and there is a string of flats in there.
Today Hugo was up at 6 am building this.
After lunch,he asked to take the ute out the back to collect some rocks.
Lidia went with him to help.
He explained that he would wrap the frame in chicken wire and drop rocks,clay,straw and cow-pats between the wire to create the walls.
They were gone for a couple of hours.
It will be designed as a bivouac with three walls and a woven stick ''door' to pull over the opening.
Matilda was convinced.
We shall have to wait and see!
Clever things!
ReplyDeleteI hope it works!
ReplyDeleteLids and Hugo were fast asleep by 8 pm this evening!
