Barn roof Installed!

Well the snow lead to sun and we were able to get the rafters up and the roofing on after a couple days.  Eric hung out on a ladder which I couldn't take a picture of since I was holding the ladder just in case.  Had a rope harness on since these metal roofs are very slippery.  He might have to go up again to add some additional screws in the top.

As you can see Tucker is helping us with all of the construction.  He is always at the ready except it's about a ball rather than doing anything useful for us.  
Angel has her independence streak so she doesn't come out with us for very long since she seems to wounder without supervision.  She always check out the pigs, goats and the chickens when she is out and when you aren't looking she disappears!  We keep working at her tactics and have most of them figured out.  She just doesn't go out at night since for some reason we can't see her.  I don't know how you don't see a white dog at night but she disappears but does show up after just a little while.

Of course the pigs watch us very closely as we are working on the barn but they do lose interest as you can tell from the next picture.

  1. The hard work definitely paid off! It looks great, and it’s really nice that you chose metal roof. It is advisable for this kind of structure because it is lighter yet highly durable. It can also shed water and snow better. Anyway, I’m glad to know you had fun doing your barn roof. How were your Panama and Columbia trips? I hope you had a great time.

  2. These animals are enjoying the shade of their new roof! I do hope that you've managed to maintain it. How are you now? I wonder if Tucker learned to let go of his ball and start helping with the construction. :)
