Nearly done, gutter now fixed, just a couple of boards to fix round the door-way !
The boys last week....and a lovely Rainbow.......
I know last night I did a blog about.....stacking my hay in for the winter....however there was a lack of a relative picture ! as I hadn't managed to take a photo of the barn.
So here is the relative picture, of the new part of the barn stacked with hay ! I have also managed to take a photo of all my dads hard work...he spent most of Saturday up the ladder fixing the guttering, whilst I carted hay into the barn.
Today we managed to fix the door on the stable of the old stone steading, as the frame had came away from the wall and this meant that the door wouldn't shut properly. After that job and a cup of tea...we managed to hang the gate on the opposite side of the new barn, this now means that the other gate is now fitted properly, I just have to drill a hole in the door to secure it.......tomorrow I shall be having a bit of a change round. The girls and babies are moving onto the 6 acre field, the boys will move across to the 3 acre field, which joins the small birthing paddock, the Nick Nacks are grazing in here at the moment, however its now getting time to introduce the Nick Nacks with the older boys ! After this swap round it means that the boys will be coming into the barn at night, with the Nick Nacks beside them in a separate enclosure....... the girls will come into the new wooden barn on the opposite side of the stacked hay ......its all very complicated, but I do have a bit of a plan........this is all in preparation for the winter........and the changes ahead !!
Just hope the move goes smoothly.......no doubt I shall find out very soon ...... But thats the plan....anyway !!
