Summer's long days and warmer weather make it the perfect season to tackle those homestead projects you've been putting off. Whether you're upgrading your chicken coop, building a new goat shelter, installing rainwater barrels, or simply improving your fencing, there’s always something to be done on a backyard farm!

We’d love to know what you’re working on — or planning to do. Cast your vote below and feel free to share pics or tips in the comments!

Tell us more below! What inspired your project? What’s worked (or flopped)? Let’s trade ideas and keep each other motivated.

Hopefully repurposing a small arena to put in a small barn to wean sheep and/or keep rams. With the predator issues - mainly coyotes the sheep need a place for night time.

No DIY this summer. The heat would broil what few brains I have left! Waiting on fall!

Adding more rotational grazing pens for the sheep.

I'm with you on that! Doing no extras until/unless absolutely necessary!
