This week is crazy! We have the opportunity to agist (board) 15 alpacas at the farm. The only catch is, that we need one more shelter. You cannot get away with weak or thrown together shelters here at the mouth of Weber Canyon. We only have 4 days to complete this shelter before a big storm is suppose to hit and the new alpacas arrive. The alpacas love these 3 sided sheds. They are open to the South and get lots of sun all winter. Utah has more sunny days than almost anywhere else in the country. So we like to take advantage of that fact.
Day one 3' holes to set used electric poles into. And the beginning of framing. Working with used electric poles saves tons of money. Recycling or re-purposing poles is a big money saver and makes environmental sense. All the lumber for framing of this shed came to $403.00.
Smile working under pressure is tons of fun!!!!!

Day two frame work completed.
The end of day 2 framed shed 15' X 30' plus fill to elevate the floor.
Day three cross you fingers with any luck the next post will have pictures of a completed shed.
Beautiful end to day 2.
