My friend Margaret has been coming over to show me how to build things. She's an apprentice carpenter and knows how to use a leveler and a circular saw.
Which is mighty useful when I need to build me a tidy, draft-free, rain-proof goat palace. We've spent the last few days putting the thing together, and it's finally starting to look like a proper place for an expectant mommy goat. There are three walls, a beamed roof, and, well, that's about it. I had no idea how time consuming it is to build something properly. Tomorrow I'm getting the plywood and more beams from Re-Use, this groovy recycled building supply place in East Oakland. I'll take photos when we're done but know that this is function over form--it ain't going to be pretty, but sure will be cozy.
