Ambriel Acres Alpacas

In this blog, I'm going to talk about our alpaca farm, Ambriel Acres Alpacas. We are located in the Middle Tennessee Valley between Nashville and Chattanooga. We'll be essentially starting from the ground up so if you're thinking about starting your own alpaca business, this might be a good place to learn. If you're just curious, welcome aboard.

Rin Tin Tin

We put all the purlins in last week. When you're up 21' your muscles start to tense up. It was a very uneasy feeling. Just don't look down and you're alright. Jim and I also ran all the water lines, electric and telephone wire. Now all we've got to do is bury it all!

Today we started putting on the metal roof . After measuring, plumbing and squaring, etc. plus 1,200 screws later, we finally got the tin on the left shed. Tomorrow it should go a bit quicker now that we got the hang of it.

Here's how we look so far:

Well, I guess I can pretty much put the bar anywhere I want to......... because the barn is huge!

But then again Bill said, and I quote, "You can never have the barn too big!"

I needed a pool after being on that roof today. It was 84 degrees, the roof was hot to the touch and the reflection off the silver roofing insulation gave my face a nice reddish hue! It felt like August!
