I put a small extension on the cob wall to make an area to store the goat feed. I'm planning to build a couple of shoots into the wall with bowls on the end. That way I can just dump their grain into the shoots each morning without wrestling the goats while they try to get at the bucket of grain. The extension is curved so I anchored one post to a concrete block on the ground, the other into the cob wall. The posts are white oak. The beam and rafters are a mix of white oak, cherry, and cedar. The cedar tree came down on its own. The cherry died so I cut it down. The white oak was perfectly healthy but I cut it down to make posts for the greenhouse. I used the leftovers to frame the roof over the feed area. I ran some old 1x2s between the rafters to hold the shingles. The shingles I put on were ones that we bought to repair the barn roof but weren't able to use. Progress is slow but steady...
