Throughout the month of May, we built a new house to move some of our pigs into.
With the birth of 15 piglets at the end of April, it’s probably not a huge surprise we needed to make more room.
Here is what it looked like making a new shelter for some of our pigs!

the current pig house is on the right
almost ready to start
pounding the soil and laying out the footprint
Sam decided to use broken bricks to make the floor – this was a great way to save money, we have the bricks and we don’t need to buy stones.

smoothing the concrete
making the feeding/drinking basins
working on the walls
Currently, only 2 of the four “rooms” are being used. When we are able to purchase more iron sheets, we will cover the rest of it.

much love!
