My mother came and also said bigger is better. How about this one? I like doors, and maybe the washroom could be the milkroom since it has plumbing.
We had a setback with the fence. Turns out the fence guy was not correct and should have tied it to the non-t posts and back on itself like redbrand and I said so and NOT to tension rods attached to the posts. Goats got everywhere today. I got lucky and saw them just after they escaped. I patched with a panel and am praying they do not press out any more places until hopefully (please, please, please) they get back to DH and splice, restretch, and tie the fence properly. The last fence guy we had seemed only willing to fix his work if we gave him a positive referral. Since we're not liars we didn't.(house with that fence will be listed in the next week or so-all done)
Also, Lady snuck up and bit me on the back while I was fixing that fence. Bad lady. She's a G6s carrier, I discovered, so she should be listed soon anyway. I hit her in the butt with the (light and fluffy) bag of baling twine pieces on her way away after her bite and run, fat lot of good that did, but that seals the deal. she doesn't belong here. Some goats just don't, I'm realizing. Her 8 week old buckling is on a bottle, and the doeling can probably be put on one too, or be weaned with grain.
Lace is being all cuddly and clingy after her kidding. Yay moody goat. Almost makes me want to keep her. She's beautiful and has really come into her own, but I don't like the moods and high headedness, and the unreliability that comes with it.
Fence, fence, fence stressing me out. What if we build a barn and it falls apart too. I feel like all we can ever get is shoddy workmanship at best. (not true, as handyman and landscaper we hired were good, but not livestock related)
