Nearly There ....and just in time !

 

What a horrendous couple of days, we had no sooner managed to get the roof fixed on Sunday.  Then we have been battered by the wind and the rain along with most of the country.  Thankfully the boys had some where to go.  Only half of the side was re-positioned, but I don't think the boys were bothered.... they were all waiting at the gate on Monday tea-time wanting to come in.  I have one gate to fix on the right hand side of the barn and then it will be finished....

 
This was Monday before the torrential rain and wind arrived.  We had managed to board the front of the barn which is where my dad is standing.... this was a bit of a race against the rains towards the end, however this side is now complete.

 
Guess who .... as usual looking rather less than glamorous !  Having the extra room is great and the boys all ran in on Monday night, they were all really surprised at the extra room you could see the look on their faces.
 
 
This was what the barn looked like on Sunday, you can see where the old part meets the new part.  We are nearly there.... hopefully by the weekend the barn will be completed.  It will make a massive difference to us here, especially during the winter when some days are so bad the alpacas prefer to stay inside.

Well done! You never cease to amaze at what you achieve! Hope your weather soon improves with a little respite before winter sets in properly and those barns really show their value!

Well done, Jayne and parents! The alpacas will get a lot of use out of the new space this winter.
