Earlier this week I blocked a section of fence where the goats and sheep were regularly crossing to get at the hay bales. I had to come up with a solution using what materials we have on hand so tried weaving branches into the existing fence and give it a top rail. The goats came and gave it a thorough inspection and decided they didn’t like it very much so moved over to the next low section of the fence and jumped there. Here is a pic of the experimental section:
And here is a pic of the beginning of the newer section I was putting up today:
I have only 1.5 sections between posts to complete tomorrow and that 100′ of fence will be completed. So far the goats and sheep were giving me the evil eye once the top rails were up and the uprights were going in as they seemed to realise they will need to work harder to find places to jump and soon there will be none. It will be interesting to see where next they decide to attempt a crossing. The weather was really warm today at 6C so were were able to work outside in our shirtsleeves – it was like spring!

Snowball fight in the yard. Big hay bales make great snowforts to hide behind.
One of the 5 latest baby bunnies, he is 4 weeks old and about a pound in weight. Persona-UberCuteness. He is a Flemish Giant New Zeland Cross.
Look a chocolate bunny! Well, he’s chocolate coloured anyway.
Darren catching chickens and putting them back into the round pen. We’re still not sure how they are escaping from it.
I'm the sort of hombre who enjoys to seek innovative stuff. Presently I'm making my private photovoltaic panels. I'm doing it all alone without the aid of my men. I am utilizing the internet as the only way to acheive that. I encountered a very brilliant site that explains how to make photovoltaic panels and so on. The web site explains all the steps required to photovoltaic panel construction.
I'm not really sure about how precise the information given there is. If some people over here who had xp with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the site it would be awesome and I would really treasure it, because I extremely like solar panel construction.
Thanks for reading this. You guys are great.
That range in the garage is really cool!!
The range is a family heirloom that we are going to clean up and repair and move into our kitchen in the house and put it back into use. I believe it was Darren's grandmother's who used it daily. It's a cast iron gas range, and under the cover it has 6 burners! It has 2 separate oven compartments and a warming drawer on the bottom.
