Kid Nursery =)

Kid Nursery =)

FINISHED!!! and full of kids. They definitely approve of it 🙂

We are frantically working on our kid nursery so it is completed before the first kids arrive (Feb 2nd)! We work full time and are only able to work on the weekends which have been very rainy lately. We are upgrading the fencing from hog panels to a real woven-wire fence with real gates! The area has also been increased so they will have plenty of room to romp around.

There are two separate nurseries: one for doelings and one for bucklings. The bucklings are born with a strong instinct to breed so we begin sorting them by sex at one week of age.

The raised kid houses (made by Splintered Woodworks) are perfect and supply the kids with endless entertainment of climbing on/off the deck.

It’s beautiful!!!! 🙂
One side finished….. 3 more to go!!
Very carefully, we used a ‘come-a-long’ to tighten the wire. Then wrapped every other strand around this end post. Afterwards, we nailed (with room to expand/contract) the wire to all of the line-posts.
This is VERY strong.
Pulled the wire down to the far corner. We wrapped the wire around the corner post.
One of my husband’s great ideas… using the round bale spear to hold/move the VERY heavy roll of wire.
Taking a break.
Installing the gate hinges.
Trimming the metal pin used for the H-brace.
This is very STRONG!
The boys will be on the left and the girls on the right.
