body isn't co-operating quite as much as I like...BUT the t-post for the piggy fencing are in...the door is hung on the piggy house and the trim is up. im REALY proud of how this has turned out. I still need some white paint to paint the trim out and finnish it up, and that square frame on the...

it was a success...we had some tenderloin and a bone in steak, cooked it up medium rare with salt pepper garlic and butter, everyone seemed to enjoy, even momma! served it with sauted kale and mashed loaded cauliflower. YUMMY!!! I also managed to get the fencing supplies so hoping to get the...

2 buns gone home and 3 ton of fuel pellets put away... dads debating getting started on the shed roof and I need to make a run to pit up what I need to get the pig house/pen finished so they can be moved out of the kitchen. gonna get some extra so I can finnish the goaty boys house too, and then...

ducky is still doing good... piggy house is painted and roof is on (its supposed to rain on the overnight so wanted to make sure that part at leas was completed. the panel for the door is also cut out. need a set of hinges and a latch for the door (its more so mum feels better about them being...

@hqueen, these are from Walmart :D $10!!! no excessive heat...mum found some squished polk berries on the ground neer where I found here...and there was a little red color on her chest feathers that I at first thought was blood and then figured shed lay on the berries...mabe that's what she got...

I know right...they seem terrified of the big puddle lol, 2 ducks will go in spash for a second then get out...the others will barely even go to the edge for a drink....which is even better cause dad only realy wanted the geese because hes got a pond and wanted them to keep th epond weed...

love these! lol. im the same, if I don't get enough sleep forget it...mood goes on overdrive. in BAD news, ive got a duck in the kitchen who I THINK got into something that's seriously disagreed with her...she was fine this morning whent out with her sisters, then about 3 hours later I noticed...

getting there :D since I didn't take into account that pallets are sometimes not EXACTLY 4ft, and that when you add a layer of plywood the dimensions change im in need of another sheet of roofing...but its ALMOST done... gonna try and get it finished tomorrow...and start the piggy house tomorrow...

they realy are...I actually LIKE shingling...I just don't do ladders and cant lift super heavy stuff up high so give me something about waist height and ill shingle all day long LOL! but that roof was a pain...we got half of it done (he side the fules going under) and next weekend will be...

oh if I could get them for $50 it would be a no brainer, I do think theyd be perfect for the ducks and geese lol. the good news is ive found a few sources for pallets so that still works out the cheapest method :) got to go pick up 2 to do the goat shelter but ive got all the rest of the pieces...

that's awesome GoatGurl! Ive seen them used a lot in the south, but not a clue how theyd work with 2,3,4ft of snow on the ground... ive thought about them s portable shelters for pasturing the mini pigs on the front shelter but I just couldn't envision them as being warm.... will def keep it in...

lol, thanks hqueen13 :D I think sis can talk her supervisor at TSC to let us take 2 pallets, they have a contract for a pickup crew who buy them...but I only need 2, surely they wont miss 2 lol. dad doesn't like the pallet idea things itll look like a shanty town and is ow looking at...

I agree, definalty silly! in PA its 10 acres....OR any amount of land making $10,000 or more form ag products...I could handle the idea of the $10K...that would make more sense, high enough to weed out the people doing ti for a tax break, low enough to be doable on a properly managed small...

isn't that crazy?! at first I thought it was a typo, a decimal a place too far, an extra zero, something.... ive no doubt with intensive efforts a huge team and dedicating ALL the acreage to something "higher value" it could be done, but it would be a serious stretch, all products sold MUST come...

sounds like you definalty need the early night and a break, I swear your one of the busiest people I know, reading your posts makes me feel lazy! you are AMAZING but don't forget, you time is important.

I even ran it all by a frined whos ow working as an ACO in NC...she said 9 times out of 10 if everything seems generally safe for the anials and the claim seems unfounded they don't bother going back out... im going to prep as if he will come to check on the buns...but she and you guys and some...

thanks goatgurl! it helps when people talk sense into me lol. I think he will be back, but im hoping is just once to make sure I make the "winter prep" for the ducks/geese and bunnies...I do think hell check... but im definatly going to have dad call him and talk to him about his offer on the...

exactly, he mentioned about if we need a sweater the rabbits need some kind of cover, and I WANED to say...but they are wearing a permanent rabbit fur coat... in TN I couldn't have PAID my geese to use their shelter and I had a frined in upstate NY with a goose who brooded outside during a...

I just...I dunno....im now 150% on edge, ive been fighting an anxiety attack since he got out of his truck (im actually pretty dang impressed I kept it together while he was here) its not that I know im doing anything wrong, infact im sure im not, and yet in the pit of my stomach is this yucky...
