My it’s a wet summer so far! Rains let up enough last week for me to hoof it down the hill to the neighbors for some plant swapping. Spotted a bit of metal roofing awaiting recognition off the back side of a building, and promptly asked if I could have it; debris accumulation led me to such boldness – it looked unwanted. Erelene said sure, and back up the hill I went with rhubarb, bulbs and roofing.
The scavenging wasn’t a day to soon. Michael emerged from his bought with a flu, prompted I believe by the urgency of providing shelter for our lambs. And so was constructed the Lamb Lounge and Grill. Unfortunately I didn’t follow him into the shop for step-by-step photos, but in this photo you’ll note that all sorts of wood was used. Again, scavenging produced the miscellany from our random wood pile with which to build. It is four feet wide and five feet long, braced across the bottom, across the back, and also the front. The bottom consists of a square frame, 
and I am able to slide this to new pasture each time I rotate the sheep fencing.
Put together in a day, this lightweight shelter is sturdy enough to withstand the wind. My dream-mobile, of course, is a chicken tractor converted to shelter the sheep off one side . . . but I think I’ll focus on veggie growing for this year. Carpentry as winter project?
