Got more done today! At one end, next to a pole, there was nowhere to screw the tin down.

So I made a L with a 2x4 and a 2x6 and screwed the 2x4 to the wall stud.

Prince tried sneaking back in.

I had a flange to screw the tin to.

We cut tin and put it up, 4’ pieces from the pole and flange to the door opening. Later while holding up my end of an eleven foot long piece of tin, I was standing up high on a ladder. I looked down.....my helper was back! LOL

We got a run of tin above the doors, there was a lot of cutting in and trimming. That took time. More coming tomorrow!

I think Prince was looking for a job to help....like standing on his back instead of the ladder....
That really looks Good!!....and a Great solution too. Just glad Prince didn't try to move the ladder with ya up on it....

That horse is as helpful as the goats are!

I'm so jealous Bay! I'm itching for spring so we can start building stuff and getting everything going. I also dont see any of that evil white stuff at all in any of your pictures...go figure.

Sounds like you guys got a lot done! Cutting tin always takes forever, good thing slapping up large chunks is faster or we would all get discouraged.

I agree. Why use a ladder you have to move when you have a willing helper that will walk you to where you need to be??

SO as I was saying about the goats... Went and rebuilt their shelter today and had to go back to the shed as I forgot something. I had everything in a 5 gallon bucket for ease of carry. Got back down there and they had pulled out the zip ties, all over the ground, pulled out the staples, all over the ground, pulled the hammer out, moved my drill to a new location, and were eating the tarp packaging. Danged helpers! So I got everything picked back up and every time I'd turn around, I'd have to chase them off again. And you know, the wether and the buck are the worst of the bunch. They just can't keep their mouths off anything! The does all basically stayed laying down at the other end of the pen after satisfying their curiosity.

Yeh @Latestarter it is Nice to be so LOVED!!....I use to get perturbed with that, but now I just have to laugh and enjoy it. They can make something very serious just laughable and they sure like the interaction too. They like your company and appreciate the time being around ya....that's why I love having animals....they will always listen to ya and accept ya no matter how grumpy or serious ya may be.....

Today we got one piece of tin hung. One. It went to the rafters and had a lot of cutting, weaving between poles and braces. We had to beat it in. DH beat one end with a 2x4 and a hammer. It got mangled, but that sheet of tin finally went where we wanted it to go! Then I cut the mangled end off. We quit. We have one more piece to go up. Then do trim and build doors.

Today was Prince’s day off. Joe was on Snoopervisor duty.
