madelynmccabe's Thread: Lets See Everyone's Herd Houses!

[Green Acres Farm]

Here's the barn right after we installed it. It is 30 x 40 and basically divided down the middle. Half has the feeder and is open housing, the other half has a center aisle and the kidding pens. We will be adding a front on the barn this month.

How much did that cost to build?

@Green Acres Farm it was actually only 700!! It would have been a lot more expensive but we got the fencing really cheap from an amazing friend. And thanks again!!

Here's the Hawg Hut I built last fall for the three feeder pigs we got. They loved it! They went to freezer camp this spring.

Then we weaned the lambs. They like the Hawg Hut too!

You don't mean the house AND fencing do you?!

Cost?

I had to buy a tube of black gook caulking for the holes in the used tin. Basically the cost was nothing. The skids are salvaged cross arms from old telephone poles. I already had the 3/4" plywood, salvaged from a stage, I had the used tin, the 2x4's were from the reject lumber pile at Lowes. Ok, so I bought the 2x4's, but I only paid half price. I had the screws leftover from another project.

What I have on hand dictates what I build. I am a scrounger. I even have my husband scrounging now, we always check out the reject rack at Lowes, we get some great deals!

If you go to my Farm Thread you
can see the original building and the addition and the entire construction
I built the addition my self
I can't remember the material
Cost I think it's in the tread
And I show how I built the stalls
It starts Jan 2015
