Reuse, recycle...


I left out the reduce as I am expanding the shelter.
Round two commenced on a rainy, misty, frigid day.
Z has no slow, he's all go but did complain about his gloves getting wet.
His fault so no sympathy from Mama.



Free metal and poly carb panels to close in the east and north sides commenced early Saturday.


It's a hodgepodge but it will work.
It bothered Z and he mumbled "it's just sheep pen" alot to himself.
I am grateful to have extra space and to him for his abilities to make it happen my way.


Almost had enough metal to finish the roof, need to cut off the rafter tails also.
The T11 on the lower walls has been used for over 15 years. 
Maybe not the prettiest but still solid.
Hopefully by spring I can force the grands to paint it for me ;)
The clear panels really let in light and warmth on snowy or wintery days. 
In my last barn I removed the upper panels in the summer to allow airflow and heat to escape.


Sparks flew and cutting the metal was too dangerous so we switched to hand shears which was quick and no injuries.





Saturday night was Christmas Parade for the 4-H club.
It was freezing but the kids were warm inside their "Gingerbread" house.
Grandma froze watching them but price to be paid.
