And the squirrels have been testing out the new roof by bombing it with partially eaten pecans (which makes me very glad we went with the heavier gauge stuff!)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-76313337934049184102016-08-27T13:06:45.193-04:002016-08-27T13:06:45.193-04:00Sounds great!

Between the goats "let me stretch out while dancing on my hind legs and applying all my weight to this board you are adding just to check if it is load bearing. " And our old Pyr "just checking to be sure distance between 2x4's is close enough to not allow my goats to get their hoaves stuff". It is a wonder the barns around here ever got finished. But in the end we passed caprine and canine inspection.

I'm thinking that if we added a second frame of 2x10s on the goat side, it would create a stall-like look and possibly keep them from getting their noses in their neighbor's feeder.

We are so far from that tidy solution with the two wethers it's laughable.
