The latest building project




Marc's goats should be here in a month or so. The goat barn has been a topic of discussion and planning for weeks. It's been a long process, but we're finally seeing some progress. The site required a tree cut down and old 'sheds' torn off of the back of the workshop. Then there were the post holes to be dug...then they discovered the old septic tank--the one we couldn't find 4 years ago when we needed to find it! All the kids have had a hand in getting this project underway. It's been a big challenge for Wayne NOT to do what needs to be done and to explain to the kids how to do it. Yesterday a load of sand and gravel arrived so the little guys had fun pretending to be bulldozers and spreading the dirt inside the new barn. Today a friend with a bucket on his tractor came and moved some of the dirt to the alpaca barn...they needed fresh flooring since they decided to use the inside of the barn as a waste site. The sand will keep them cooler for the rest of the summer, too.
