September 25th - New Window in back of barn

We found this new window at Habitat for Humanity for $25. Pretty fancy.

September 20th - The Final Frontier - the back of the barn

At last we are working on the back of the barn.

In the midst of all the construction, our new hen lays an egg.

September 19 - Battens Go Up On 3 Sides

John and Cody finish battens on 3 sides of the barn thanks to the loan of the saw from Tom Doyle. Thanks, Tom!

Jack & his new barn



Best Guard dogs in the world in action. :-)

September 17th - Samba Jumps Out of the Barn

It seems that our neighbor Ken Moses was checking the fence line after his cows got out. I don't know how she did, I just looked out of the window and saw her jumping out the front of the barn. She went right back in to her stall and stood there and looked at him. Seemed fine after that. Big day around here.

September 14 - Loft Doors Finished & RAIN!

Finally, the rain from Umberto has arrived and we are 11" down so it is wonderful.
I took the bottom photo yesterday. Cody and John aren't working today. The
barn looks great and isn't leaking.
