Guess what this is going to be?




This is our goat and sheep area. Well now we are using part of it for our NEW Porcupines area. For a while now Eric, one that over sees the facilitators, has been working on getting them. So we have been trying to get some new animals in here. You know we have a nice chose now, but it would be great to get something in that is not on the island here. Porcupines are not here at all. The zoo doesn't have them. Wouldn't be neat to have some thing NEW.

Okay yesterday a friend of mine came over, on his day off, to help me out. We started by digging down a little to put wire mesh under the ground. These guys love to dig and barrow. So after that we started to put in the poles. Mark, my boss came out and told me that we needed to go even deeper in the ground, like 6" So mean while Harri and I went over to the Camp and got the Bob Cat. Before we were using the John Deere tractor. It was great for drilling the holes, but to big to pull the dirt out from  near the fence. Harri and I got three poles in and then he had to leave. So I used the Bobcat and cleared more of the dirt out. See the pile of dirt? So now we should be able to put the fencing down on the ground and then cover it up. After that need to finish drilling the holes for the other side of the fence. 

Hopefully we will be able to finish this up by next week. 
I know on Monday we are getting the trenching machine in the dig and put in our new pipe to the New Bath House. Plus have to run a line over to the Dinning Hall and the New Cottages too. This will be our New electric through out the Camp itself. We have been very much in need of more electric. So hopefully after all this we will be set for the next stage of work. The cottages and more power to the New Bath House. Oh we are trying to get the wires form above gone too.

Hello again, going to talk about the old shed in back.

When I started this project, I really was just thinking of running 12 wires to the back and hooking it up and let it alone. But as I have a ...
