Today, the two little darlins found a roof to climb onto. Like they own the place. I'm thinking BBQ, but my wife won't go there.

Goats can fly you know!!!

Other then a BBQ their only saving grace to me is they eat poison ivy. I still prefer round up over goats.

Goats can get into, and cause more trouble than any other creature on earth.

That roof looks like their native habitat. Must be mountain goats.

Is that a stone roof they climed on ? Looks almost like slate pieces

Whitetail deer eat poison ivy too, I'd eat the goats

My wife wants pygmy goats, I said sure.... but when the brush and weeds are done I'm gonna eat them... So,......we don't have goats


That's a heck of a roof!, 2x8 roof rafters ain't holding THAT up.

gcs..

You're right about the roof. Underneath the thick slate is a Roman bridge of stone to support it.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Amazing how they built things 400 years ago.

A few years ago, I went to check a couple beehives at a neighbors farm. I left my drivers side door open while I was tending the hives. When I walked back to the truck, there were three goats in the cab….one in the back seat and two up front. Had a heck of a time extracting them.

We had two goats when I was a kid. Came home from church one day and they had ate the blossoms off of Mom's rose bushes. That was the last straw. They became timber goats 10 miles away.

This thread is a riot.

Pete, can you see the stone arch from the ends of the building? Can't wait to see your photos.

On the goat subject, Zim's sister had just brought home her brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. with less than 200 miles on it, when she stopped at a person's house to return a clean dish they left after a church picnic. As she stood at their front door, she heard loud clomping sounds and turned around to see a little black goat who had run up across the hood and onto the roof of her new vehicle. He left perfectly dented and scratched goat tracks. I could not stop laughing when she told me about it. If it was me, I would have kept the tracks! (She got it repaired, but we called it the goatmobile ever since.)

Barria is real real yummy just throwing that out there

Are either of those goats nannies? If so you could milk them.

I just pulled one of my wifes goats off my dead grandfathers 66 thunder bird roof.

The last time I had goats,l got up at day light,went outside drinking a cup of coffee, and discovered one of them standing on the hood of the wife's monte carlo. The other one was trying to eat the vinyl roof off of it. Sat my coffee down and told them to stay right there and went back in, grabbed my.06 , came out and blew the first one off the hood. Couldn't get a clean shot at the second one. I think he went to live the rest of his days in the forest cause I never seen him again.

Thanks for the goat stories. These two haven't gotten in too much trouble yet... only eating roses. The biggest challenge for me in our recent move was catching them so I could transport them with the mare and the donkeys.

Here are some pictures of the inside of the building they were on. It is my temporary workshop until I get the concrete poured in the barn for my new woodshop. I can't imagine what the roof weighs.




This is the mudroom on one end of the house with the same style ceiling.



This is the upper half of the barn that will house the new shop. I can't wait, but the stone masons around here are always busy.

That is beautiful work. Use to build fountains and waterfalls for a pool company. I love seeing the art of masonry. Thanks for sharing

Those are some buildings, I guess they had lots of rocks to work with...My back is aching just thinking of lifting them, lol
