Colleen and JD are supposed to come around ten in the morning to help get the rest of the purlings and roof on. If they do, we will also install the windows and door and it will then be closed in for the winter and we can work inside in any weather. Today we hit the front half of the roof with purlings and completed half of the front before my knees started to protest that, (and I was even wearing good knee pads) so I got down and we went to the other side and started installing the drip edge. We then started throwing the steel roofing sheets up. We almost finished the steep angled side, but I think there might be two more sheets to go. We are installing the inside foam sealers which will not allow any air or bees to enter the attic area by going up under the roofing ribs. They are now all filled with rubber filler strips and we have the others for the top which the ridge cap seals on too. I believe this is going to be a really nice application which will help to enhance the overall look of the gift shop and keep it extremely quaint and high class all the way. Below are the pictures of today's progress. Keep watching to see this project as it starts to really blossom.


Looking pretty good back here.....



We also got half the purlings on the front before my knees gave out...

Joe, our barn hand was here today and cleaned every one of the barns out and even under the bunny cages in the Brothel. He is a God send right now with the building we are doing. I took a few pictures of the Alpaca door where I placed a heavy cotton blanket we bought at the horseshoe guys place, just for the job of closing off the winter breezes and still allow the Alpacas to pass freely. We started about a month ago with the blanket mounted half on one side and the other half on the other with a five inch gap in between so the Alpacas would get used to going through it. THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!! But they soon got used to it and we have been narrowing the gap ever since. Today we placed the two sides completely together. NOPE! DIDN'T LIKE IT AGAIN!!!!!! We came up with the idea to use a large safety pin and leave just a little opening pinned and again, let them get used to it being closed everywhere except a baseball sized spot in the middle. They are now working with it... not liking it, but working with it! Check out the facial features and contortions Iggy is going through. The one says "I Freakin' Hate You Bastard.... Leave Us ALONE!" Can you guess which picture that one would be? They make me laugh..... All the time. Just like the pictures below..... It's as if Iggy, (on the right) just noticed I changed the door opening. Just imagine the following......





Hey, what'd ya do to the damned door?




I really freakin' hate you buddy.... You're the freakin' pits to us Pal.....







I'd really love to plant my foot where you have your head half the time.....









You know....the thought of that just makes me laugh...Hahahahahaha...
