I could go to bays with less then a five gallon bucket of tools and do everything she has to do. The less tools u have the less u have to look for at the end of the job.

Well then, come on!

I slept until 5:20 this morning! Finally! I didn't wake up every 2 hours and I wasn't wide awake at 3 AM. I think it's called exhaustion. I have the back seat of the truck loaded to the ceiling with small, mostly breakable items. It took all afternoon yesterday to carefully pack and layer with blankets, dirty clothes (I left packing blankets in house in Groveton) Going to load up the back of the pick up and go to Groveton and unload. Neighbor Ron is going with me. Taking jacks to jack up the small portable building son took down there and block it up, so I can start putting stuff in it. Be back this evening.

@Lstewart86's husband brought their cargo trailer back yesterday and I can go through all the stuff in the big portable building that is staying here, pack, sort out, keep, throw away, and load the cargo trailer. Maybe take it next week. She brought their middle daughter and she made a beeline for their new lambs. She was so excited! She held and cuddled baby lambs to her hearts content. She was full of questions, that girl is going to be a farmer!

I found 3 small animal huts on Craigslist. 7'3" long, 5' wide and 42" high. They are perfect for what I need to shelter the sheep and will save so much time, so I won't have to build and then take down when I move again. AND those nice people are going to hold them for me until Saturday when DS and I can go get them! They are up near Greenville, 3 1/2 hours from Groveton. Son and I are going to be on the road this weekend! Plus those huts will be great to put in weaned lamb pasture or ram pasture, I'm happy to get them!

@Ridgetop by the time u haul all them tools from cal to east tex it might be cheaper to just buy new when u get there. I do construction for a living and that list of tools u read is more than I carry in my work van. Like I tell my guys the tools don't make u great it's knowing how to use them. I could go to bays with less then a five gallon bucket of tools and do everything she has to do. The less tools u have the less u have to look for at the end of the job.

If I know what you need, my hubby has a huge barn full of any tool you would want... we will be there on Sat, let me know what we need to bring...

great find on the huts!!!!!!

The animal huts sound something like the calf hutches we have in this area. DS has several and the sheep do use them in the worst weather... especially the lambs. If they have a panel or some sort of vent, you will get some air through them too. We have some "home made" ones of wood and some that are fiberglass that are lighter weight and easier to move. Great find for you.
Have a good day and hope things go good with getting the storage building blocked up and filled up!!!!!

This Saturday the 12th, son and I will be picking up the small animal huts in Commerce and taking them to Groveton. Sunday the 13th, we will come back to Lindale to haul round bales with DS truck and trailer and my 500 gallon fuel tank with my truck and trailer. Let's plan a work day Saturday the 19th.

We close on the farm Wednesday the 16th. I'm working feverishly to get everything out of the house, if not by the 16th, then shortly thereafter. I made a run today to Groveton and back, with a pickup load and the back seat piled to the ceiling with mostly small items. I'm going to try to have the rest boxed up so that when DS and I come on this coming Sunday, I can pack my truck again, hitch the flatbed and get the fuel tank on it.

Sounds like this Saturday is not a good day for us to plan to come, the following weekend we are out of town... our next free day is the 26th.... so not sure how much help we can be...

This Saturday got taken by the opportunity to go get 3 Quonset hut style animal shelters that will be MUCH easier—just go get ‘em!!
God provides.

I’m sure there will still be plenty to do on the 26th and you don’t want to miss a chance to meet @Ridgetop and her husband! We might even fire up the bbq pit.

Miss @Baymule,

BYH did not notify me of any of the postings on your journal since Saturday, so I am just getting caught up! It sounds like you are going to have a lot of help. Good! As much as you have already done, it is time you get a chance to rest. Maybe you can have another ice storm come through like last year!
