Quick, Easy, Shed Build for a HUGE surprise

Drop everything and build an ALPACA PALACE! This video is brought to you by Squarespace. For a 10% discount go to www.squarespace.com/anneofall...
Everything on the farm came to a stop last week when I found out we were getting ALPACAS! I had to build a quick structure using recycled building materials to facilitate their transition period- to acclimate them to our livestock guardian dogs and to give them their own "spot" they can return for meals, shelter and training. Leaving our alpacas in Washington when we moved to Nashville was incredibly tough, but it was what was best for them. Similarly, we are now able to give these alpacas a life that is best for them, and I am so excited to have these little llamapops running around the farm again! Can't wait for all the alpaca fiber, fleece, and yarn spinning to come!
Build your own three walled shed using whatever you've got using this simple DIY design. Use what you've got efficiently to build what you need. That's the way we do things around here! www.anneofalltrades.com

Yeah with the price of lumber right now nothing is going to waste

[@sdspivey]

When moving large objects, I found it is easier to stand inside it. That will help to stabilize the structure as you walk around. It also helps you grip it as you can span a corner, instead of a side.
