Yesterday saw hubby finishing off the shingles on the cabin roof
I now have the roof edging to paint, just when I thought all the painting was finished.
Lambert has been relegated to the small field
He became a bit of an accident waiting to happen, he took to head butting the chicken feeder and the chickens water dispenser, using them like punch bags, I ended up having to fasten boards around them so he couldn't get into them but the chickens could.
He then changed his attention to the greenhouse and poly tunnel, I caught him in the greenhouse, he had got through the barrier so drastic action was needed and he was moved into solitary.
He has plenty of trees to head butt and he still has contact with other animals along the adjoing fence.
The other week the neighbours dome barn that adjoined ours was on the move.
This is the barn in question
The first half was raised up after being cut away from the upright supports
The Bob Cat was moved underneath
Using a couple of straw bales the arm was extended and the roof was raised
with everyone holding a guide rope its slowly moved away
They were working in a very tight space
with a bit of coordinated movements it was taken away to be rebuilt at a later time in another field.
It was great to see how they were going to move it, they were waiting for really still day to carry out the move.
We can now get the back on our barn, I think that is hubby's next task.
Your cabin looks fabulous! A lovely spot for it indeed. It will be a great place to work and be creative.
ReplyDeleteInteresting seeing the barn being moved.
It is a good spot and before long it will have a garden around it :-)
DeleteWe always end up doing things in odd ways, it must be a farmer thing. We moved a container and a shed this weekend using a crane on a trailer. If anyone from H&S was watching they would have had a fit!
ReplyDeleteThere was few moments when it nearly went wrong, when the wind got up it was all hands to the ropes. :-)
DeleteWell I have heard of moving houses and buildings, but I have never seen a barn move like this before! xx
ReplyDeleteThey kept talking about moving it but I had no idea on how they were going to do it :-)
DeleteYou are making great strides up on that mountain Dawn. The cabin looks fantastic, almost as though it has been there for ever. I would love to come and have a look see. I have the same kit that you used for your coasters, I opened it last night, the fabric leaves a lot to be desired. I think that I will make the pattern up and use my own fabric, they will be a good addition to my Seasonal Hampers.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome anytime Pam and Kira will enjoy meeting Ben :-)
DeleteYour hut looks very settled in the hill side. Poor Lambert, sheep are not very bright!
ReplyDeleteI love your barn moving photo's, farm H&S at it's best.
I agree sheep are pretty dumb at times. Lambert is enjoying his own field :-)
