Just because it's been two years since we posted, doesn't mean we've gone away.

We just had two concrete slabs put in - one is 30 x 60 and the second is 10 x 23 feet. Mike has moved his business to our home because he was renting space in a warehouse (for 400.00 a month) that has been sold. So from Buda to Bastrop - he moved about a month and a half ago and we've since purchased a metal building to put on the concrete slab(s) that were poured in the last two days.

Oh, and we have goats again - this time, we are concentrating on Milk goats and have some miniature runts that are 'filler' goats because we also needed to keep our ag exemption.

Let's see... in the last two years? Our deck project has yet to be finished, but we built a house for Mimi, the potbelly pig (whose kids we have parts of in the freezer, still)...

We have a new dog - a female for Brisket, although right now I think he thinks of it as a replacement than as a companion - the way he mopes around and such.

Barbecue is getting much older and has outlived a pyrenees' life, really, but she still enjoys barking and walking around, so she'll be okay for at least another year or so. When she starts pooping in place and can't get up, anymore, we'll have to reconsider her quality of life.

We still have a bunch of chickens and the guineas that we never owned (from the neighbors over there) have reproduced and we have about 20 of them, now. Most of them are not ours and I had to bring the lady from next door over to get her to see that indeed, we don't cage these guineas... we simply feed them better than the neighbors and they like our place, so they stay.

So, as for the building site - this is the way it used to look. And we had a second gate that no longer exists - that was our 'main gate' to the front yard.

Now, it looks like this... um, except there's another slab behind it, as well, but not as big as this one.
