It's also fun to watch, while others use their imaginations, and build their homes, barns & other outbuildings from pallets and other materials that most would consider 'waste'. We love that the only obstacles (other than our own physical limitations) to heating in a way that works for us is whether we can still get homeowners insurance... Anyway, good on ya, for chasing your dreams (and landing here!)

Thank you! I did have someone comment on my other post that the codes allow other's to build whatever and it may be an eyesore. But I figure the freedom to do what I want is worth it and there are lots of trees here so we can hardly see anything anyway.
It looks like you're into a lot of the things I am. Cheesemaking etc. I really miss my critters!!

They're hardy, sturdy, flufffy & small - the bucks aren't supposed to be taller than 29" at the withers. The milk is rich & sweet, and they are very friendly - think puppies with horns, lol.
