OOC Let's Chat!

Good morning! How are you doing?

Pretty good. I had a couple of pleasant surprises this morning involving not having to work so hard.

How are you this morning?

I'm doing pretty well! Debating getting my hair cut today

Ooo. What style are you thinking? I've been needing to cut my hair for a while.

I'm thinking of cutting it to my shoulders, rn it's just over halfway down my back.
I've been needing it cut for about three months, but I keep putting it off

Mutiny Game 1 is now up for those of you who signed up for this summer game.

If you signed up for it and don't see your name on the list, that means you were contacted by me via owl and informed you will be part of Game 2 whenever Game 1 ends.

Thanks for expressing interest and I hope the game is fun for you all!

Good!

Couple ideas for your milking stand! I added a shelf underneath --- just a frame with a thin plywood top --- I figured you could put a couple storage boxes there for udder antiseptic, cloths, feed bag or any other stuff you'd use. This will also stabilise your legs.

I put it on wheels to make it easier for your brother to haul it around. Just a couple old wheel barrow wheels should do. You'd have to cut the ends of those legs a wee bit to keep the platform level.

You mentioned a ramp, so I made that a little narrower than the platform. If you make it a bit shorter than the platform, you can fold it right up on the hinge! If you need to remove the ramp, you can bang the pins out of the hinges!

Finally, a support for the feeding bin! I don't know if your goats come in different heights, but you could attach a couple bolts to the milking stand frame, and then drill holes at different heights on the support wood. Just attach it with wing nuts for a customised fit!

Ooh! Those are all very good ideas! I'll have to see if i have the stuff and then add those ideas to it!

Hi every one! Congrats to the Slytherins!
