The concrete is dry and cured!   

So we immediately put stuff on it to start building the floor for the milking parlor. 

Joshua using some of the freecycle lumber to frame out the floor. He’s so handsome, it makes my heart flutter.   

I was in charge of the chop saw….

  
…and kept all my fingers, in addition to properly cutting (most) of the wood. 

And the base for the floor is laid! Tomorrow is plywood, and then we start on walls. We wanna give a shout out to a GRF friend and customer Deb, who helped us out with a generous Home Depot gift of all the new wood for the floor. She rocks!

Also, I discovered the oberhasli girls weren’t allowing anyone else to eat at the hay feeder except Dora, so I quickly made one from a dog kennel. That they all fought over and ignored the actual feeder. 

   
 Apparently this is what having a room full of toddlers with toys is like. But look at all those bellies starting to show! Poor Phoenix, the blonde with horns, I don’t know how she’s going to walk with another 86 days to go.
