The Goat House
The Beginning of the fence. "T" poles will go inbetween the 4x4s that are concrete-mounted. The "T" poles were murder to pound in since this soil is only a little softer than concrete. And with rocks the size of small horses. |
It probably is clear, but the shed is being added on to the detached garage (where the hay is stored... and little else. Certainly not any cars!). |
And, yes, the roof 2x4s are that long on purpose. I wanted an overhang. I originally planned to run the fence to the side of the new building, but realized at some point that if I didn't run the fence down to the door, the goats would be jumping onto the roof as the ground at the closest 4x4 is quite a bit higher than at the floor level, and well within jumping distance for an energetic goat! |
Inside view! |
As you can see, it is a work in progress. I am in a panic to get it completed before the snow flies! |
The more or less finished product. Or should I still call it a work in progress? And, yes, I know the roof tilts down on one end. I'm still trying to figure that out. If you put a level on the important beams, it measures level. But something's obviously not. One problem is not being able to get lumber that is worth a hoot now. It is all warped to some degree. We gotta start growing straighter trees!! |
