see the pulley on the top right?
here is the east end of the barn almost finished.
just a few triangles left over the window.
the dogs found a baby wood duckling. tabitha rescued it. we called the proper people and they said try to raise it it will go wild as soon as it sees other ducks. so now we have a wood duckling. she is trying to feed it with a huge syringe. astrid was gently carrying it to her. she must have thought it was one of our chicks. crazy...
jack is ok and happily being a puppy again.
tabitha and i hung out in the barn during a heavy rain. it was fun, noisy and it smelled good. i am excited to get some progress on the barn. digging and rubble trench foundation are next.

Great work you are accomplishing for certain. I'm proud of people like you.
I for one will never get sick of barns!
Looking good!
Good luck with the duckling. Is it injured? It should be able to eat meat bird feed and bugs and stuff on its own without a syringe.
Wood ducks are extremely shy and usually do best without a lot of attention (unlike, for instance, mallards). I know this will be tough with the kids. I too think a crumbled mash of any sort should work.
The barn is very exciting. Great work, Karl.
Reminds me of an Australian style- looks really nice. I like the rough lumber that you picked up. Need to find a place like that somewhere...
