Bergerie

For the last week or so I ve been working on building a new bergerie. Although we've managed to reduce our flock from 29 to 20 sheep, the old sheep shelter still isn't big enough and there isn't enough room for hay  feeders, shearing, to catch and treat the sheep when needed, or to keep them inside during bad weather.  So after demolishing the old shelter, digging out a new platform and casting foundation pads, the new frame has gone up. Mostly the wood is recycled from the old dry toilet building.

The roof off the old shelter provides the internal walls at low level. Next jobs are external timber cladding, roof, gates and feeders.
