so sometimes you have to work backwards in order to get ahead uh and that's precisely what we've
done over the past couple weeks actually over the past couple months really we've been rearranging
uh our wood sheds and chopping wood stacking wood et cetera so you can see behind me i have uh wood
that we've stacked that we've rearranged it wasn't like this originally yeah in the previous videos
we had them stacked this way however being that we have goats uh two of them that are pregnant and
they were gonna be birthing uh probably next month from the size of them and from what we gather
we needed a solution to deal with our male goat or william as we like to call them
and so we had four rolls of wood stacked here and like kimberly says sometimes you gotta work
backwards to move forwards and one day uh we came up with a great idea because we didn't
want to build another building for william and uh we were like so how do we accomplish
this and that's what we have in the back there and we're going to show you right now
uh we didn't want to do a video on chopping wood because that would be pointless but
this is an example of thinking outside of the box and uh doing uh what we call a
2-4-1 so what we're gonna do right now is take you over to the other side and show you
all right so we are now on the other side of the woodshed
and this is what we have perfect we have another i will actually just spin this around
an area for willie we made a little area for william uh there's a hay feeder right here
for him for those of you who have not yet seen the video we'll leave a card up here
um or at some point um yeah to uh to show you how andre actually built that from scratch rather than
going and buying something so this is his little spot here he's got quite a bit of room it's just
him in here so that's fine um during the day they're outside anyways it's just during the
night when they are in here um and and when he's in here and he has his own little space
um and the purpose for that is because if we have the goats with their kids which are expected like
andre said in october we want to make sure that the moms uh are separated from william so that
he's not uh he's not bothering them um and we're not or hurting the kid yeah or we're
not quite sure how how he's gonna react to having little kids around um so better safe than sorry so
that's why we decided that we were gonna build it this way and stack it this way and we've got
a little open space um and actually the way that we've stacked this is really cool because um we're
gonna stack this higher on the side so that it's it goes all the way up to the roof um but the way
that we've stacked it the the wind does not come through the wind goes most of the time yeah it
comes from the north east oreo west from west to east and so all of this wood here this is uh two
there's two rows here the other which is on the front side so three two because then we should do
the other one yeah yeah so there's three rows of wood here so it blocks the wind uh from coming in
um and and making him cold so he's facing the side that doesn't have the wind on it
um which is really good because then he's not uh cold faces east the sun comes up in the morning
and keep him warm especially because he's gonna be in here over the winter
uh overnight and he'll be by himself yeah so we i just had to quickly build a little door on here
which we had plywood laying around a couple hinges i found kicking around as well
and this way also they do have some holes in here in the wood woodshed as well or should i say like
little lookout area so that william can keep an eye out on his ladies when they are
in their place there so on the left hand side we are gonna have june which is our pygmy in there
and in the bigger side there we're gonna have mama which is the bigger alpine and uh if you haven't
seen the video of me fencing in the area i'll leave a little card up here on that one as well
so you can see how it's fenced off back there they're both going to have their own little areas
they can run around in so we just wanted to quickly take out some time to show you
a way that you can think outside of the box and get uh two things accomplished at the same time
and ways to get things done on a homestead when uh i don't know if you want to take
it the lazy route or or because it was more work than building something but
yeah it is what it is the easier route yes exactly anyways hopefully you guys uh got some uh
i don't know what you want to call information information tricks some ideas some ideas on how
to stack your wood so we'll see you on the next one take care you need to put that back no because
i need to i need to make sure i can now you know i need new yoga pants
anyways welcome youtube we are talking about things that take time to do
in the two for one and like that's what you should do unless you want us unless you want
to start there because you're smaller and i can sit here well no either one is fine my problem
is that my eyes are automatically attracted to that screen well i don't know what to tell you
because i need to see the screen when i'm walking so it sees and when i'm holding it over there
like this i need to see the screen to see what it's recording because if i can't see the screen
and it's not recording us and it's pointless right yes right makes sense okay all right okay
you
