My brother has been kind enough to help me get the more difficult things for me done. He cemented the post in for the gate and put that up, roofed the chicken coop. This next weekend he is extending that roof over the doe barn to reinforce the plastic type roof that is on there. He finished mucking the old doe barn(that is now his lawn equipment shed again). Also next weekend he is helping me get the instant garage frame covered with a tarp. This will be my hay barn. If there is enough room my milking stand will also go in there.
Fence is done for the winter. Not allowing me to psot pictures tonight so I will try again tomorrow.
Chicken coop almost completely painted. Finishing tomorrow. If I have enough paint I am going to paint the doe barn as well. If not my brother can get me some more. It's returns at his work. Cost 0$.
Izzy, my wether tried mounting Poppit, so I thought she had come back into heat. He must be crazy because I put her in with Gus (buck) for two days. No interest from him at all. So she is back with the ladies.
Besides the hay barn, I have two small projects to complete before snow falls. First I need to get the puppy pen hotwired. I want them to know what it is and learn to respect it right away. Then i want to get some kidding panels made. I want to use drop pin hinges this year. That way I can set them up when needed and take them down when not needed. Will come in handy if any animals has to be isolated as well.
Getting the heated buckets ready for use. One of the owners of some of the chickens is purchasing a heated waterer for them this year as well. The construction of fences and buildings will come to a halt for the winter, but I believe I will have enough to do with working with the pups. I am naming them Jethro and Grub. Pictures of pups as soon as I get updated ones.

Chicken coop is complete
Another job checked off the to do list. 
Yippee!, it's finally getting a lot smaller. Pick up scattered materials, hay barn, finish puppy pen and build kidding panels, is what is left.

That's great! Sounds to me like things are coming along rather nicely! Not too much left to do. Of course then a new list will need to be made and you'll get to start all over again.

I am wrapping these projects up and NO new projects until Spring. Then it's fencing in the neighbors to pastures and adding new chickens.
Here are pictures of Jethro and Grub. Should be picking them up on Nov. 14th. Will decide who gets what name after they get home and I observe them a bit.
Nervous, but ready to take on being a LGD parent to pups. Only a couple of things I am unsure about, but Deb assures me that I've got this.
Don't know if I stated this already or not. They will have a pen that borders the sheep on one side, chickens on the other(very well protected run including hotwire) & does, wether, Yukon & Tahoe on the back. The pen is where they will be when they are not in with me while I am working with goats. Hoping Yukon and Tahoe take to them pretty easily. Then they can learn from them as well. They will eat separate from each other as well as from Yukon & Tahoe. They will also learn to work separate from each other. I want this because I can't separate Yukon & Tahoe. Those two have never been apart.
