A Barn Built to Order
08 Dec 2010 Leave a comment
We had our barn built last Summer to our specifications. Actually, we bought a book called ‘How To Build Animal Housing’ which is full of basic plans. We selected the most obvious, ‘sheep shed’, and showed it to our fencing guy. 6 weeks later it was done. Well, they put up the structure and ran an electric line and water to it. We stained it a color of green that was hotly debated within the family but ended up blending pretty well with the surroundings, and my husband is handling the wiring himself. He’s a genius, just so you know. It’s got four ‘rooms’. The tractor bay, the large loafing area where we feed, our feed room where we keep feed in metal garbage cans to keep out the mice and what we have been calling the milking room which is currently hay storage and has housed baby goats in the past. It’s super functional for our needs and coveted by the neighors. One has contacted our fencing guy to ask him for a duplicate. I wonder what color they’ll stain it?
