Good morning,
Winter is on its' way, dam it! 19 and going to a high of 43. Wind WNW 15 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.
The hard part on the shelter is done. All the framework is up. Shelter Logic shorted me 32 nuts, so he had to stop. The legs are in place but not fastened together, yet. He will be back on Saturday early (8) to do the rest. I will go out today and get a box of 1/4" nuts. After it is all up I will go around and screw it down to the platform. I've got a bunch of 3/8" lag bolts and a 1/2" impact gun.
Eric, as you well know, dogs will chase anything that runs away. That being said, what are you going to do when your sheep start showing up dead due to heart attacks from being run into the ground by neighbours' dogs? Leash laws mean nothing to city people moving into the country.
It might be time to acquire a good rifle and scope. A Lee-Enfield .303 can be drilled and tapped for a scope. I am assuming you are allowed a rifle to protect your sheep from predators.
Have a good day all
