Today we finally added a stall to the goat barn.
It’s something that we planned to do when we built the barn, but you may recall we were in a bit of a rush to get it finished enough to bring home the goat babies.
Goats are very nosy creatures. We kept Mirrie and Georgia out of the barn while we workd on it – and their curiosity was just about to eat them up. When we finished the stall and let them in, they didn’t hesitate to give it a thorough inspection.
When we opened the gate for them, they waltzed right on in.
I think it met their approval.
I think the coolest thing about this stall is that we were able to use boards that Bernie milled and boards/materials left over from other projects.
Next on the list is finishing the lean-to off the front, and putting up the soffets and trim. These sweet babies are worth it to me.
They look like they love it, you may get more Kisses for building that for them.LOL. Ya did a great job.
Wow, that’s really nice. I LOVE projects that come together with wood already on hand. Would you be willing to show your wood-milling process sometime? It’s something we’ve talked about doing, but haven’t ever seen for ourselves.
Cristy – Thanks. I found them sleeping in it this morning
Kat – It’s not much of a tutorial, but here are some pictures of Bernie teaching our neighbor to use the saw mill http://backtobasicliving.com/blog/bernie-rocks-nest-box-sawmill-and-spiney-things/ It’s about halfway down. The large cage looking thing is where the blade is, and once the log is in place you set it for the height you want and walk the cage down the log. That part is very easy and requires very little effort. Wrestling the log onto the mill can be interesting though. But they make tools that help a lot.
I love the wood! Lovely job.
Canu please just move to my house and bring all your tools????
They are so cute! Their new stall obviously meets with their approval. Good job!
Goats, an addicting hobby.
That goat barn looks fantastic, and Georgia and Mirrie are growing up so fast! They are adorable.
Wow, lose baby goats are big now! They grew up really fast…the BARN looks GREAT
