Alpacas are delivered

So Mike didnt quite get the barn ready. A small strip was left undone on the roofing plywood. No roofing tiles or paint or any other finishing touches...But the alpacas have a place to get out of heavy rain fall and such.

They were delivered this morning in a red trailer. They were so cute and traveled so well. Of course the 12 of them started eating the grass...and eating...and eating. It was kind of funny how much they were eating. Until we realized that we were going to have to make the second pin ASAP!

Weather Vain for the barn

A coworker of my husband's heard that Mike was building the alpaca barn from scratch and brought in this old weather vain for us to have. He said he bought this house with a really old horse barn on the property and this was on top. The woman that lived there previously said it was in the family for generations. Its not the greatest picture, but you get the idea. I think it looks great!

Barn update

Here is the progress of the barn thus far. The last picture was taken about an hour ago. My husband is out there right now working on it. We opted to make the peak nice and tall rather than squatter at the top.

So, this is what it looks like right now. Good news though, they are delivering the alpacas on Friday, June 8th now. They had a delay in the delivery, so now we have another week to complete it!
