The Hobbs Cedar Wood Floating Duck Nesting House

The Hobbs Cedar Duck Nesting House

The Hobbs Cedar Wood Floating Duck Nesting House

We have seen a growing interest in all things ‘natural’ and the idea of providing safe, threat-free housing for wild birds in the garden and wild ducks on the pond. The Hobbs incorporates the beauty of cedar planking, with the ‘floatability’ of the duck canopy. Free-floating duck housing has the advantage over ‘bank fixed’ nests in that it keeps the nest mid water, deterring the fox and other threats to the nesting duck. And for those with pond liners it enables them to provide nesting without fear of piercing that precious liner with a support post. The Hobbs Duck Nesting House provides one nesting bay and has a easy cleaning method in that the float has a ‘fixing free’ location for the house, to clean the nest you simply unhook and The Hobbs Cedar Duck Nesting Houselift off the canopy, then the entire house will lift away from the floating deck, leaving the old nests fully exposed. Simply scoop the old nest into the trash or other appropriate method of disposal. The Hobbs comes complete with a float*.

Our duck houses are made with the same attention to detail and quality found at Forsham Cottage Arks, Goreside Farm, Ashford, Kent, who inspired our American version of this impressive design.

“I am Legend” – Worst movie ever!

Posted by: kmbarto on: January 10, 2009

I consider “I am Legend” one of the worst movies of all time.  And based on the comments I heard as I left the theater that Saturday afternoon, I was not alone.

Ordinarily I LOVE Will Smith.  I have thoroughly enjoyed every movie I have seen him in, even the Wild, Wild West.  But this movie was awful!  I cannot honestly say what I expected from the movie based on the promotional trailers seen on TV… I just know it wasn’t the movie I did see.  It was bleak, gruesome and very depressing.  I was never so disappointed in movie before.  I actually wanted my money back!

Save your money.  Don’t buy the DVD!

Exclusive PrincessCrafts Membership Absolutely Risk-Free
By K. Waddell

PrincessCrafts MembershipEvery year tens of thousands of eager people and crafters turn to scrapbook stores, professionals and consultants in search of easy, simple to learn, scrapbook systems. Many of these so called professionals are also sometimes referred to as ‘pretend experts’ which are people who travel the globe and tell others how to do what they do…without ever having done it themselves.

Indeed, everyone knows a story of someone forking over a bunch of money for scrapbook page building advice or the ‘next big thing in kits’ without ever seeing any sort of return on their investment. On the other hand, there is one couple who have risen to the top of their profession as a ‘world class’ digital scrapbook design and training team… often referred to as ‘The Consultant’s Consultant.’

Their names are Wes and Kathy Waddell and if you can keep an open mind, and if you would like to easily learn how to scrapbook, increase the number of pages you get done each month, and get a much better payback from your training, then taking advantage of this INCREDIBLE ‘FREE’ GIFT may prove to be the most economical and smart decision you have ever made.

They are always on the lookout for what’s new and what really does work to make your scrapbook pages both easy to create and beautiful to look at. They know how hard it is to find good training at both a reasonable price and on a schedule that meets your needs.

They have also become Certified Computer Scrap-a-holics and are trying to get you “hooked” like they are! That’s right. They are shamelessly attempting to get you “addicted” to our easy to follow advice and templates. Look, if they truly can teach you to scrapbook and to create 10, 20 or more pages per month with their simple to use system and templates… you’d be silly not to continue, right? Of course!!
