Remember my advice to you for a fence? Buy a little at a time until you have enough to put up one roll of wire? One roll at a time until you have a fence? Well I’m gonna take my own advice. I’ve been guilty of looking at a 20’x60’ three sided barn for this field. Since putting this Pallet Palace up, I’ve realized I got some stinkin’ thinkin’. I’m going to save up to buy posts, rafters, plywood decking and tin for a 20’x20’. I’ll have to have help to get that up. Then I’ll save up to put tin on the end and back. Then save up for another 20’ section , then another. Then build a feed room in the middle. It may take me awhile but little by little I’ll make it happen. With this barn in 2 sections, I’ll be able to house ram lambs on one end, ewe lambs on the other. Or any combination I need. With carefully planned fencing, I’ll be able to use the barn and front field for different groups.

Then I’ll start on the barn in the middle field, a 40’x50’. I already have the metal trusses for that one. BWAHAHAHA!

Little by little! I have electric fence cord, some stakes, and time, Lord willing.

A little voice told me to call a friend this morning and I’m glad I listened. She was having a bad day, accumulation of a lot of things and she needed to talk. A lot. So I listened, then gave her a pep talk and she thanked me for calling. I’m going Wednesday to go see her.

Then I went outside to wrap the Pallet Palace with opened up dog food bags to block the wind. I was a couple of bags short, but got front, back and one end done.

The sheep ought to like their wallpaper with the dog pictures, there will be a whole pack of dogs defending them!
