Bring on the grandkids and the paint!
You deserve a nice dinner and some chair time.

I bought a container of cookies and cream ice cream a few days ago 
(shhhhhh don't tell anyone) I think some of that is in line for later tonight. And having just caught up on everything, it's now time to go do animal chores once again.

Thanks all... been a long process. Still a few things to be done yet but the biggest thing is the goats now have a dry, wind free home. still need
1. trim boards at corners and under eves
2. gutter for the back to prevent drip edge wash out down below
3. paint... it is OSB afterall and it can only take just so much direct moisture
This was taken from the back deck before going down to take the others. You can see the sun is setting and the shack is moving into shadow.
Door openings are 3' and I haven't decided to do doors or not yet. May do a 3/4 door so there'll still be airflow.
RJ photo bombed this view. He's making his "Aint I so handsome?" face
You can see from the other shots that the sun is going down. The roof selection really helps keep the interior "visible". I believe I'm going to board up the center wall with the OSB pieces propped up against the back wall. Not all the way to the ceiling, maybe 5' high. The first 2 wall frames (left side at back wall) will be closed with wire fencing, then the OSB on the final 4.
Next job is to build a milk stand.

I had a weird thought @Latestarter. If you were to cut out the bottom plate between 2 studs on the end that is highest off the ground, you could put in a short operable door and when it comes to clean out time, you could just sweep/shovel it out the side rather than out the door and on to the steps I ASSUME you plan to put in.
And yes RJ is a handsome boy!

Dang.....the milk stand will be a piece of cake after that project ! Are you able to add end vents for extra air flow during hot months ? And i am curious if you have chosen your paint color ?

The reason i asked about paint color is because i have always bought expensice brand name paint, $30.00 and up per gallon....went to wal mart and found pre mixed barn red paint..under the name of color place....barn and fence, 15 yr warrenty, excellent hide, durable, ready to use...a in stock item and only $12.00 per gallon. On bare plywood i only had to roll two quick coats, e z to use and clean up !
