We are heading out this noon to get materials to build the pony/goat shed. I love a building project.
Always.
My Poppy gave us some Christmas money! Thanks Poppy! It will help pay for about 2/3 of the cost.
But first…Lane chainsawed off around the tree we are building under. I dug up some creosote laden RR ties that had been long buried along a rough line that must have once been a fence…the horse and goats had “unearthed” it by eating the grass that had been hiding it and treading on it. With the help of our girls and a few friends that have been staying the last couple of days, we got everything hauled to the burn pile. 
Now Lane and the boy are getting some of the materials and the girls and I just had a homemade Grace chocolate shake. Sounds fair ;D
Pictures to follow as we work on the project!
You need to come over here and build for us, ha ha. We are working a crossword puzzle, actually the 2nd one of the morning, and will go to town later to visit shops and get some soup at McLaren’s Pantry possibly.
Your project sounds terrific. And the beasties will so appreciate a dwelling.
