Our last blog post brought you up to date on painting, now it’s time for construction.
The basic construction of the shelter is pretty much finished except for a few leaks that need to be repaired. The inside still needs furnishings, cupboards and other items that are coming slowly by slowly. This is when I wish we had a Home Depot like store…one stop shopping would be wonderful!
Therefore, this blog post will deal with outdoor construction.
We plan on getting a few “local” cows to fatten up and sell, helping to raise funds for the grade cow we hope to get once the animal enclosure is complete. Here’s where we plan on keeping the local cows for now. You can see there is lots and lots of grass where they can graze right on our property.
Chuck had to check out the strength of the pen!
Before bringing in the little cows we had to saw off a few pointed poles
I've been told (by my loving hubby) if I'm right-handed I'm sawing incorrectly...I say whatever works!
seems I'm a bit confused as to why it isn't sawing through! But notice I've changed my hand grip.
But Chuck comes to the rescue and in just a few quick saws he finished the job!
A small room is being built and another (smaller) water tank will be placed on top. This room is planned for a nightwatchman to live on the premises and the water tank will be for watering the special grass for the grade cows and giving the animals water.
I am looking towards the location of the planned animal enclosure with the watchman's room in the foreground.
Last but not least we got a crank for the well. This is so the diggers can finish the well.
installing and taking a test run for the well crank
As you can see much is being done at C4KK. We thank God for the strength, rest, peace, discipline and all else He continually showers upon us each and every day.
