Sliding Door

We now have a sliding door on our shed! 

G had gotten it from a coworker giving it away, and it's been sitting in our garage since waiting to go in the shed. 

Why a sliding door? Mostly to let in light in the winter. There's no heat in the shed, and when the door is closed to keep the heat in, it's pretty dark.

I think it will do quite nicely! 

G has a friend handy in construction who happened to finish a job early yesterday. We're planning to do an addition to the shed this summer with his help, so he stopped over to take a look at the space. When he found out about our sliding door plans, he thought he could install that in a couple hours. So he did!

The goats seem unfazed. At first I worried that lots of junk would get stuck in the door track, but the way the door is manufactured, there isn't much space for junk to accumulate. If all else fails and it becomes a problem, we will just put a rug over the threshold to block junk from clogging up the sliding part of the door.
