If You Build It, They Will Come

This past weekend and the last two nights we have been working on building a new goat house/storage shed. Now that we have three goats, their old house is no longer big enough. We bought a kit from Menards and "beefed" it up a little bit since the sheet metal was pretty flimsy. The goat area is 5 ft x 10 ft and the rest will be used for storing their food and hay and hubby's go-karts. We put all of it together in the (heated) garage except for the roof.

Here is Little Miss Zoey checking out hubby's carpentry skills for their door which he had to cut out of the sheet metal.

Here is Buddy checking out their area inside the house. We still need to put fence up to keep the goats on their side.

If it doesn't rain, this weekend we'll work on making their "grazing" area bigger and build a little wall around the goat door to block the wind/snow.

That is a goat mansion! I can't believe winter is on the way, again.
