It’s amazing what we can accomplish with a few hours of work and some motivated helpers.
Miss Winnie fits Seppi’s old cowboy boots.
Man work!
Not quite big enough for Daddy’s sunglasses.
Ellie was sent to go get a roll of wire from the barn. Apparently she needed Seppi and a wheelbarrow to bring it back to the shop.
Frame is put together, time to add the wheels.
Seppi’s patented work holding solution.
We decided it needed some form of corner bracing to keep the corners at more or less a 90 degree angle.
Obviously this shelter is too heavy to be easily mobile, especially for Kathleen and the kids. So we need to add wheels. We bought lift kits from a very innovative little homestead supplier, a smaller, metal version of the lift kit concept Ryan tried to make out of wood for our old chicken tractors.
Someone has to make sure Daddy does it right.
It’s a neat little design. Two wheels mount on the front corners on levers that press down and latch against brackets on the sides. A second pair of wheels mount to a dolly that connects to a bracket on the back.
Voila! Now mobile enough for two smallish children to move, sort of.
But perfect for two smallish children and a middle-sized child.
We took the tarp off the hobo shelter we had made for the pigs and wire tied it to the mobile shelter frame.
All ready for the sheeps, just in time for the warm weather coming up this weekend.
