Construction of the Pig Palace

We finished the hut or “Pig Palace" that the our pigs are going to sleep in. The hut was made out of pallets that we got, and rough cut wood that we had left over from a tree house we built. We had to bring all that wood down from where we built the tree house, pretty far up on our hill. We had to bring the wood down a path that was downhill and had lots of roots on it.  This was one of the hardest parts of building the shed. 

We worked together to bring all the wood down driveway and down a path and into a little clearing. That's where we are going to keep the pigs. Then we used the pallets to make the frame.  The pallets had big gaps in them so we used our wood and filled in the gaps. The wood the pallets were made out of was very hard so we had to work very hard.  Anika was not even strong enough to nail in the wood.

Caleb had to get on the roof of the shed and nail wooden stickers onto the roof to seal up the cracks so water wouldn't get in the pig shed.  The shed was very hard to make but it should last for several years.

Oink to ya later,
