View attachment 117372 Big Bro (Kuya) Robert already has his babybrother in a headlock. The first of many to come I am sure. DDIL2 has her hands full with 3 babies 2 years apart. Luckily both older boys are in preschool until June.
The pump shed is finally painted and ready for the shelves to go up. DS1 and I worked on them today. The first picture is looking straight back from the shed door. The second picture shows the heavy duty shelf unit installed on the side wall, We put up the upper shelves first then assembed the lower shelf system. The shelves are 24" deep x 6' long. The heavy duty shelf unit is 6' wide x 6' tall x 24" deep. We will pick up another heavy duty shelf unit tomorrow at Costco on the way back from the VA. When we buiot th one there nw, we moved it out 24" from the rear wall to allow enough room for another to fit on the wall where the orange ladder is leaning. It will fit from the corner to the pump pipes. There are several electric outlets in the shed in case we want to instal a freezer or fan for ventilation, or need electric outlets in that area of the field. They still need covers. Can't wait to get all the Christmas stuff out of my front hallway! All my canning jars and equipment can go in there too. I will be bringing some of my orse tack back from California and the winter blankets can go on the top shelves since I won't need them until we have covered barn space for the horses. On the side of the shed over the pump equipment DS1 is planning to put a 30" deep "loft" shelf from wall to wall. It will be 6'+ above the floor so we can get under it to service the pump equipment. Not sure what will be stored there
It is supposed to rain heavily over the weekend so on Monday we will all get out in the fields to drive in the PVC T-posts for the electric fencing. DS1 has laid it out. We just have to decide what kind of gates we want to install and put those posts in with their braces. We will use the auger on the tractor for those posts. We will put the LGD access in those gates. Looking forward to having permanent rotational pastures. The sheep are already starting to ignore some of the lovely tall grass in favor of the new grass growing back in. We moved the rams and lambs into new pasture using our last roll of electric fencing. We have to get a breeding pasture set up too. View attachment 117374View attachment 117373
