Goat Shed

We're getting closer and closer to getting goats. It's starting to get scary now that we're going to have to make the decision to actually do it.

I got a few minutes this weekend, between football and lightning storms to put the roof on the goat shed. I've tried to stay as true as possible to the concept of using existing material on the property to build. Of course, there are times to be pragmatic and just buy a couple $2 2x4's instead of trying to find a cedar that I could have milled into 10 foot beam.

The roof is made of tin that I salvaged from the collapsed house on the property. I have no idea how old it is, but I would guess 50 years? However old it is, it should be in good enough shape for goats.

I'm almost done. The final step is to put some sides on it. I plan on just using cedar fence slats to wall in 3 sides and to just leave the front open. Once I put some hay in it, it will look just like a manger.
