Dan's Winter Project

Do you remember this?

It’s a photo from last February, when I blogged about heavy rains flooding the buck shelter. The boys were standing in six inches of water and we had to move them out.

Every heavy rain since then, Dan and I are concerned about a repeat performance, so we’ve been discussing options. Those options have all been variations on one of two ideas: do something to prevent the shelter from flooding again (like a seasonal pond), or move the bucks’ home to a new location. After tallying up the pros and cons of each, we realized there are more incentives for moving the bucks rather than messing with drainage. The biggest incentive is that having them closer would be more convenient for water, hay, and feeding chores! The other problem is that the roof in the buck shelter has been leaking, so a repair would be necessary if we left them there, in addition to fixing the flooding problem. 
After discussing all the concerns and options, we decided to build new buck housing and tear down their current shelter to re-use the materials. We’ll put the boys back in the old buck barn for the time being.
So Dan’s winter project is building the new barn. Here’s where we’re putting it.

The blue above is the location of the new buck barn. We’re going to re-do the chicken yard to set up an area for the bucks that will facilitate a new pasture rotation plan. Please note that nothing is to scale!!! But you get the idea.
It will be a gable roofed building. One half will have three exterior walls and a pony wall will divide the two halves. That will be the bucks’ side. The other half will be open (no walls) and used for feed and hay storage. 
Here’s how it’s going so far!

There’s no specific time table for this, but we’ve had some pretty weather so hopefully, it will move right along. After that, it will be fence repair and rearrangement.
