    Jesus Reggie that's one tidy shed for calves,did you leave that amount of space out there for a reason or easier to feed them?

    I left it that way so I can stack small square bales of straw on the outside on the left. Will have all my milk mixing gear/calf pellets on the right. Rest is room for a trough on the outside

    Nope. I do feed hay off a feeder or the straw will be sitting on a pallet

    Fantastic :)

    Time and time again I am bowled over with the talent some people on this thread have. I don't even think it's guntering when the standard hits a certain level, it's talent and craftsmanship!

    Sorry Reggie a smashing shed and all, but to my mind Galway civil defence win the guntering award this winter hands down.

    http://connachttribune.ie/on-camera-civil-defence-rescue-cattle-from-flooded-farm-223/

    l thought the makeshift rafts and bouyancy aids were ingenious.

    p.s. mods... flooding is still a big and real issue for alot of us farmers here in galway.

    I started to make a stove for my shead out of the Gas cylinder.

    I'm going to have it on it side and feed the wood from the end as I can
    get longer lenghts of wood so fire will last longer. I need to "Locate" a pipe
    for the chimney and weld up a 90 degrees bend also going to use the top of the cylinder as legs.
    Ever get any further with stove,must do something like it myself...

    Not yet I'm playing around with different hinges to see what works best. I should have the legs and the chimley sorted out tomorrow. I can only get working at it on the weekends.
