Baymule’s Pigs 2018 HEREFORDS!

[Baymule]

Yesterday and today we worked on the Hawg Hut and pen. I put together more boards and got ready to put tin up. DH and Robert built H braces and stretched a span of wire.

I squared up the corners with slightly used 2x6’s.

I got my jigsaw puzzle assembled of scraps ready to run tin tomorrow.

Time to pound T-Posts.

Looks like ya was using the up and over method instead of walking around the fences.........makes perfect sense to me....looking really good and almost hawg ready....

I put a ladder like that over a fence I was working on and noticed Maisy watching me intently when I was going up and over. Sure enough when I left the field she was right behind me. I don't know how she got over the top part but she definitely did.

Yup, going to cut the fence and hang a chain link 4' walk through gate for convenience. But until then, a ladder over the fence sure saves some steps. We are putting up the new fence to keep the pigs from tearing up the garden fence on one side and the outer parameter fence on the other side.

Maisy is one smart dog!

All in all your scraps are serving you very well Bay and the hogs will love their new house. You are one hard working lady!!

It's amazing how buildings differ from place to place. Here you would never build a flat roof because of snow load and ice damming. The tin hanging off the sides would also be a no no as the wind would rip if off in short order.

There isn't much pitch to the roof, but it will shed rain. The tin flaps will get screwed down after I put up the sides to cover the seams--poor peoples edge trim. LOL LOL

We do have "flat" roofs here but "flat" is just condisidered anything less then 4/12 pitch, so we have lots of 3/12 pitch which we put rolled rubber roofing on. I didnt take into account you still had the sides to do and would probly be tacking down the wings I would blame it on being sick but hey thats probly not the cause.

I got tin hung on the back of the Hawg Hut today.

DH and Robert stretched a span of wire. DH drove the mule around to the property next to us and ran the winch cable through our fence.

They hung a gate.

We knocked off at 2:30 so we could go pick up a 275 gallon tote. The guy was out of blue barrels, I let out a loud NNOOOO!!!!! I need one for a pig feeder! I must have made him feel bad. He said he was getting more on Saturday and he’d give me one.
