New Digs

We are beginning to get comfortable at our new location.  I think the goats would agree.  While the barn is still unfinished, due a hay loft and windows, here are a few pictures of their new digs.

As an indulgent postscript, my husband and I built this entirely ourselves with one good ladder.  We raised hand-made trusses over our heads until one of us was steady enough to screw in the metal hurricane ties.  It was a humble, yet heroic event that the neighbors commented looked like an Amish barn raising without the community.  In retrospect, it was all quite careless by OSHA standards and I don't think that I would do it again.  I truly hope the need will never arise.
