Today it’s 65 degrees and sunny without much wind so it sure feels great. Will’s working on the barn, getting ready to put up our home-cut siding. Yesterday he worked on the sawmill all day, cutting ONE log. But that log was a huge spruce log that had to be cut down with a chainsaw to even fit on the sawmill! He’s putting first a layer of our free plywood up over the 2×6 studs, then adding furring strips on which to nail the vertical board and batten siding. The plywood is to prevent any slight drafts from getting through the barn. Inside, we’re going to add some insulation board that a friend found for us. It was a wonderful “deal.” We’ll be off to pick that up soon — a whole trailer load! Thank you, Mike!
I canned up bean soup last night after putting away 17 pints of baked beans first. Wow, that sure looks great in the pantry!
This morning we went to our friends’ house to disbud our new Nubian/Boer buckling.
He is simply stunning and so gorgeously marked; like a pinto-appaloosa horse. His mother and father were out of a buck and doe we used to have so we know his potential as a producer of great milkers on down the line. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he’s beautifully marked too! (No, he doesn’t have a roached back. Dara is just holding him still on the stump!) — Jackie
Diana,
Yep, we do have a big pantry. It’s 7’x12′ with 2′ deep shelves. But it’s getting full and I’ve overflowed to the basement shelves that Will built a couple of years ago, saying “These are NOT for food!”. Oh well…What can I say. He doesn’t complain a bit now.
Handsome little boy. He’ll sire some pretty kids. You must have a humungous pantry to store all this stuff you can. Take a picture of it for us sometime. :)
Your barn is looking good. Wish I had all those jars in my pantry. And the little buck is absolutely gorgeous. My Babylon, Nubian, Pygmy cross is due in June. I’m a first timer for goat babies, I’m getting a little nervous. Spring is great 75 here today. Take care, Betsy
