Pink Fox: its Raining...IN MY HOUSE! :/

[CheerioLounge]

They are beautiful!! The light one especially! It's great you have someone so close for when you're ready! May I ask how much she sells them for?

 

[pinkfox]

$150 each but she said shes do me a little better on 2 lol

just scouring my yard for "things I can use to make a small goat house" lol.
between the windows and doors i pulled out of the old shed...im wondering if i could puzzle it together lol.

 

[pinkfox]

aint they stinkin cute, i usually prefer the darker ones but theres something about that little light girl, not sure if its those crazy ears or the markings on her face, but shes too cute lol

well the weather that was supposed to come in overnight pretty much just sprinkled, my patio was damp but no new puddles, and now the 80% chance of precip has been knocked down to a 50% chance on the t-storms...there was some freeking out going on about this weather cell, from what i saw county schools all shut down because of "potential" for bad weather today. i do think well get some scattered showers and some gusty t-storms in through today but nothing neer like what they were worried about, seems this cell has taken a new direction for now at least and currently the radar looks clear other for some skattered ain over memphis

the forcast for this weekend has also warmed up, this weather is definatly keeping folks guessing.
not sure what todays going to bring, probably a day of wii fit and painting if the rain comes through.
winds definatly "active" this morning though lol.

The wind is kickin! We just caught a bunch of chooks in this mess. I don't think it will get so bad here as other places, still a very dangerous cell. North Alabama just got hit by a twister I'm worried about the kids in Kentucky too, and Buffy is up there as well...hope he fares well

ive been watching the cell on radar, wee got a wind warnng in place all day sustained over 25mph and gusts obviously but the big storm that they thought was going to hit us actually whent a little further east, central and eastern TN are getting some nasty storms, i dont belive southern KY is going to get hit too badly from what ive been reading but the virginias and western NC could get realy hit heavy by that cell

the wind is crazy though, Dozer is pretty sure its alive as every so often he sticks his nose against the screen and barks at it when it gives a good gust, kinda funny.

whent for a wander around the property this morning...mum and dad are now both talking about the goats...THEY want them...
so right now the current thinking is if i can pul some kind of goat shelter together they will buy the 2 girls i was looking at, ill raise them and then 'when' they move theyll decide if they want the girls and ill get the babies out of them, or ill keep the 2 girls and theyll get 2 babies out of them (assuming doelings) if no does born then either they get the girls and i get any money made off the boys to be sold or i keep the girls and they get any money off the boys to be sold...
so i figured hey...theres a meric butload of JUNK out on my property...lets go see what i can find thats close enough to the clearing to drag out...

so right now i have 4 intact pallets and 1 pallet that i ripped apart (it fell apart as i was dragging oit out but the boards were fine so i pulled all the boards off and figure i could use them to fill in gaps. 2 of the pallets have boards real close together (only made 1/2 an inch gap or less between boards, 1 pallet is a little wider spaced with about 1 1/2 inches between boards, and 1 pallet has about 4inches between the boards.
theres another at least 1 acessable pallet that im going to go try and pull out after lunch has settled, i ned my clippers to get to it as theres a wall or tiny brables between me and it, the kind with tiny little thorns that laugh at denim as they bite right through...yeah ask me how i know LOL, mabe another one in that same general vicinity...
the 2 closer spaced pallets are obviously good for walls, the other 1 i know i can use is also close spaced, and the other one that im not sure is good is also close spaced between the boards.

theres a BUNCH of metal roofing back there but im just not sure if im going to be able to get to it, so im going to try and clip myself a path through the brush this afternoon...if i can the metal will work perfectly for the roof with a little bit of putty and a coat of roofing paint...
ive got enough 1x2's left from the rabbit hutch project to make the supports for a roof
and ive got 2 peices of 2ft x 4ft osb that could easily be used to make one end...

ive got the 2 windows i can easily use

i might just be able to pull this together without buying much more than something to tie the pallets together with and some screws.

We'll see what i can come up with this afternoon with the rest of my salvage job.

After i dragged those out i whent for a wander around the property, think i found the side property line, gonna take alot of moving and shifting and hauling to get this place into any kind of resembalance of its former self though ill get there...slowly, and it will get easier as i get the brush leared out and can get to the junk easier.

im thinking of potentially burrying alot of the shingles...
ill go around with the biggest magnet i can find and remove any nails glass ect i can, drag out and use (or trade in) as much of the metal stuff i can, and drag out the large junk (toilets ect)...then slowly little by little have a loader come in and just start dumping semi screened fill over each pile and then seed it with mixed perenial grass and clover, probably cheaper to BURY it than haul it and it will eventually very slowly break down and im sure the goats would love a hilly playground to race around in lol.

My kiddos are in Central Kentucky

 

[pinkfox]

*hugs* im sure there fine and safe and dandy

 

[pinkfox]

well whent out to try and salvage more pallets and was foiled by some thunder rolls and a few drops of rain, came in and the rain stopped LOL! the clouds have oved in though and theres a nasty littl storm cell heading our way in the net 15-20 mins, its moving fast and its little but itll deifnatly give us a couple good booms and some crazy wind if the radar is anything to go by. hatches are battend as a just in case.

i think rght now ive pulled all the good ones from close to the work site...so im going to need to go a little further in to see if theres more elsewhere.

 

[Wannabefree]

We have a bad one headed this way..it's a tiny cell, but going right over the top of us. MIL said it is a tornado, but I dunno...haven't heard.

 

[pinkfox]

everything holding up ok?!
all i got was a deacent amount of rain and a couple mellow rolls of thunder...
ive got a tiny rain cell (green and yellow) heading my way, but theres a bigger cell slightly south of that that might hit you WBF, itll skirt to my south, but may hit you head on.
