:lol::lol: Bay I just laughed so hard at that post. I don't know why it was so funny to me. But Stupid Chicken soup sounds delicious about now
Glad I could give you the giggles, laughter is good for the soul. Yeah, I'm the weirdo that labels the bag with the chickens name and let DH brag on how good it is before I tell him who he is eating. LOL

Wednesday is the day I get to go pick up my girls, Falina & Ruby! :celebrate

We still want to add on to the goat shed. But since we are going to be quarantining them, we still have time.

We have a nice, sturdy 8×8×7'h hoop structure, that we built last year. It has been sitting in the goat yard, not really being used for anything. I have been wanting to pull it out, so I could use it as a greenhouse.

Since the hoop structure would be a goid place to quarantine, we decided to open up the fence, and pull it out of the goat yard.

The plan is to put it close to the fence, so the dogs & goats can see Falina & Ruby, to get used to them. We will let them out, during the day, to let them browse & get used to us

When we are finished, with the quarantine,
We can use the hoop structure for a greenhouse.

We used 4 - 2×8"×8' boards and 1 - 2×6"×8' for a deck, to keep them off the ground and covered it all with straw.

Once the hoop structure was in place, we used the fence stretcher (and come-along), to put the fencing back. We had been in a hurry, when the fence was placed last summer. So, we hadn't used the stretcher. It bugged me, ever since, because the loose fencing moved when the goats & dogs stood on the fence, and the top was bending over. Now it is nice and tight. :celebrate

Here, DH is nailing the nice, taught fencing to the gate post.
