Every Spring for the past 5 years, a male Australian brushturkey or Gweela (Alectura lathami Megapodiidae) has chosen a specific spot in our garden to build his mound, usually resulting in 3 or 4 chicks. While this may be a beautiful thing in a National Park, he has caused literally thousands of dollars of damage over the years to our plants, mulch, topsoil and garden beds requiring countless hours rectifying the destruction. This had to stop. We've tried all the NPWS recommendations, mirrors, stinky fertiliser, palm fronds, none of them worked. So now it was time to get serious. Off to Bunnings for some Saxon Chicken Wire and Hardwood Stakes to try to fence off the area. You can't hurt them, so denying him access to his favourite sunny spot will hopefully discourage him from scratching our garden to death!

I don't use a lot of green wood but I do many handyman jobs that involve water getting into places it shouldn't be. So I reached out to my friends at @CarbatecTheHomeOfWoodworking and asked if I could "borrow" one of their handy-dandy moisture reader thingos to help me out with a couple of jobs.
