Let's get building



House with paling steps and friends



These photos from Lower Wilmot show just how much palings of all sorts were being used 100 years later. It seems that paint or any other protection was still not being used at all. The menagerie of animals seem quite comfortable sitting on the doorstep. I am not sure that this door would keep out too many draughts.

Nut and Meg the goats resting under a tree

Meg is resting happily next to a wooden box,

probably her shelter. The other white blob on the other side of the tree is Nut. The shed behind looks

relatively new and quite well constructed.

Shelves or a saw horse rest behind the tree.

The timber shed in the background of this photo looks pretty ramshackle and I think Brownie really missed out on architectural

design  when his kennel was constructed.

It really looks as if it was all made from leftovers.

The end of the wall is all different lengths, and on all different angles, the piece under the eaves looks a bit second rate

and there is a fair hop to get over the threshhold.

At least it is raised from the ground to give ventilation in summer and stay dry in winter.

A dog cannot expect too much
