Kimberwood Farm

I have to say that the Premier Feeders go together much easier than I expected. Bob had this feeder up to this point in one afternoon. The directions are pretty easy to follow too. We are still waiting on the panels I ordered so this is as far as we can go on this one until they arrive.

Well, Bob must be tired of all the wasted hay. He's building me new feeders! Woohoo!! Yesterday we made a stop at Home Depot to pick up the lumber. We discovered that they have a wonderful free service available. They have a huge saw that can cut your plywood or other big sheets into your specific dimensions. It really is going to save some time in building these feeders. So, we started with this:

And have gotten one side together so far:
You'll notice we are not using treated lumber on our feeders. I felt that since I've gone to eating as organically as I can, the sheep should too. I didn't want to expose them to all the chemicals in the treated lumber. We felt it wouldn't be a problem in replacing boards as they rot. Especially since these will be inside the barn.

Eventually the feeders are going to look like this:


I ordered the panels from Premier yesterday and can't wait to see the finished feeders!

I started and finished this scarf recently for my son's girlfriend, Abby. It's made from Wesley's lambs fleece. It's a very easy pattern and if anyone would like it, let me know!
