What?

...and a Slower Pace of Life!

Oh, to wear penny loafer's and loaf about in my loafing shed!

We finally finished the loafing shed. Here K6 and Marshall put on the metal roof.

K7 and K8 helped. The boys usually got a late start, so they worked until sun set.

Lots of family visited this week for Thanksgiving and the extra hands helped a lot. Son-in-law Ryan holds ladder for Marshall.

K8 thought it would be exciting to play commando and jump off the roof...

...into the bed of my truck. Wish I had caught a shot of him in mid air.

Frequently it was Marshall and K7 working while K6 was at McDonald's earning a paycheck. I paid my crew with a little money, free room and board, bullets when we shot after work, the entry fee to the Tulsa Wannamacher Gun Show, and a new knife. I figured the experience of building their first real structure was payment enough.

We separated the animal side (to the left) from the hay storage side (to the right) with a wooden wall.

We enclosed the hay storage portion with 5' tall wire panels with 2" by 4" openings which will allow us to lock the dogs in it if we ever need a temporary dog kennel. Here big brother K2 (in red) is enjoying a break from law school by helping Marshall with finishing touches.

Just as we were wrapping up, I heard geese flying over head. Two "V" shape formations headed south. Gorgeous sight!
