Hi, Karen wave.gif

I love the colour scheme of periwinkle and lemon custard a_bravo.gif . I wish I had a cubby house like that growing up :(

You are one lucky chookie lady [smilie=a_cookiemonster.gif]

Without hijacking Karen [smilie=threadjacked.gif] , can you please post a photo of your Taj Mahal? Does it have a tandoor?

[smilie=offtopic.gif] [smilie=sorry.gif] Karen.

The Taj Mahal was built by Mogul emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. They had 14 children and died in childbirth, so she truly deserved the Taj Mahal being built in honour of her.

Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.
Shah Jahan

Wow! Indoor grass and everything. Love it!
It looks great. That's a very roomy house for three chooks. Are you planning to breed and keep some from your trio?

I must say now when people laugh at my chicken house I will send them to this thread to see I'm not the only one who builds mansions for their girls. :-? Mine is still waiting for it's paint job though. :oops:

Hey WW.
I posted a novel about it when it was built. Nothing since then. :oops: I have refined the inside a bit since then.

Let me see if I can post the topic. First time. pc.gif

Thanks for the link johs, I like your chook hilton. I joined a couple of months after you posted so I guess I never got around to viewing all the older posts.

On a side note, how did you get the short form link to your post in there? Everytime I try I get the complete long link displaying.
