Title: New goat shed
Post by: Skirza on April 12, 2012, 03:40:55 pm
Ok...so I'm really just blowing my own trumpet here but I am so chuffed with our new 'goatling' shed. The 2 milkers have their own 'Des Res' with the milking stand etc but as we are near to kidding and need somewhere for the goatlings, we really needed a new house. This was built entirely from old pallets and cost a grand total of £35 for roofing felt and hinges etc. Just needs a coat of something on the outside and we're done.  :thumbsup:

Thats lovely we make just about everything with pallet wood here, just in the middle of building an extension to our feed shed, which now has a food prep area complete with kitchen sink (rescued from a skip)  :thumbsup:
