Nearly There !!....

Nearly finished......tonight.....Zaninni is waiting for his tea !!

Having a rest.......before sheeting the sides.....

Mam and the dogs.....(ltor) Meg, Diesel, Jessie, Zonda

Waiting to go out.....this morning !! Zienna, Zirrius, Zimushka, Zirrianna...... Zakhura black hiding and Dusty !

Me and my Dad.......

We have been very busy working on the barn...extension....and we are nearly there !

The poles were concreted in on the Friday, and setting on Saturday, we had ran and only got a little bit extra done. On Sunday we started to build the main structure and it was finished by late Sunday evening. Monday we started to fix the smaller cross beams ready for the sheeting.

Today we have fixed all the smaller beams and cut the sheeting and tonight the roof is done. Also we spent the afternoon 'Yorkshire' boarding the sides.....so we are nearly finished. My new gate arrived this afternoon sometime.....however, it must have came when we were in for dinner.....we never seen the delivery yet !

It was only late this evening...after I had moaned ....that the gate hadn't turned up ! I walked up the track.....back to the barn to get the hammer....only to notice that a nice shiney new gate was propped up by the barn door ! To my surprise.....

To it was another late finish....just by dusk....I managed to get the last photo of the evening......when I went to feed the boys.

Next on the 'to do list'...is the other barn doors....the ones that rain in....and end up flooding the floor when the rain and wind...are in a certain direction....I have managed to get some galvanised steel.....type guttering......that when turned upside down......will do the trick !

We will find out soon...no doubt when we come to fix it !....I'm hoping it works and stops the rain coming into the building.......as this is where the girlies and babies sleep !

So the finishing touches on the extension are on the cards for tomorrow.....re-fix the wooden door to the front.....of the new extension....and hang the gate on the other side.......this will be where the boys will winter....in times of horrendous weather.......and no doubt.....its just a matter of time, before.....winter really sets in !

I'm hoping to bring the hay in.....maybe at the weekend...it has been resting on the field.....as if you bring it in too soon, although baled nice and dry...it tends to sweat in the buildings !!

So another job.....no rest for the wicked !!!
