Zanzibah Zanubis is 3 today !.....
Me.......and the barn...nearly finished....Yehah !!
Zanzibah Zirrius.....is now dry !
Little Zadi Blanca.....enjoying the sunshine....
Zoretah...she is so friendly...she comes and sits next to me for a snooze !!
The work force.....walking the plank !!Another busy day today....no rest for the wicked...
Thankfully the weather has been kind......not the rain forecast, unlike some ! So once again it was time to don the work-wear and hammer....to get more of the barn finished.....
I can happily say...it is nearly finished...as I type the blog tonight.....phase 5, the long Yorkshire boarding is complete...and not only that....I have also managed to get phase 6 done...this is the smaller Yorkshire boarding to completely cover in the bottom. This measures approx 4ft and it makes the whole of the bottom of the barn wind and water-tight....so if I decide to use it for my alpacas.....then in the severe winter weather...the barn will still be nice and dry and cosy !
The rest of the barn measures approx.....10ft tall and is open at the gaps, to allow the air through, without it being drafty.
So we are nearly there....and I must say, I'm really pleased its up.......I have thought, wished and wanted this barn to be built for over 5 years.....and now its done. It will make a massive difference to me, my animals and just giving us all that bit extra space, especially in the winter time...when we are usually packed to the rafters...with hay and straw !
Today I was out with the camera...and I managed to take a couple of photos of Zirrius....he is now dry and is a lovely shade of fawn...with a darker fawn stripe down his back, darker fawn ears and dark fawn knees......he's a happy, chunky little fella.
Next on the agenda, is to make the doors for the far side of the barn these will be full height, to allow me access with the tractor....actually the whole barn has been made, so I can drive right through....if needed......then a few gates....and it should be complete.....
I think I can safely say.....the hardest jobs are done....and its hopefully well on the way to completion !!
Finally...today is Zanubis's 3rd Birthday...so Happy Birthday Zanubis !!

You've done a cracking job there and the babies look fab too!
Jayne, I'd love to know how many Phases are on your flow chart, but that would spoil the excitement of hearing you've achieved another completed phase, without knowing how many more to come - you deserve a 'topping-out' ceremony for getting it weather-tight, and I'm sure Mam and Dad have already joined you in a little celebration, quite right too!
Stunning looking barn!
Zanzibah Zirrius is a lovely colour - they all look great, and Happy Birthday to the magnificent Zanubis!
Looking great! And the crias look fabulous too!
