Replacing electric pole

The electric co op came out to inspect our lines and decided we need to have an upgraded meter and a pole replaced. This pole is on the fence line between the goat pen and our yard. There is also a tree in the way of replacing pole so the tree was cut and half ended up in the yard and other half in goat pen...
The half that fell in the yard is waiting on hubby to come home to help me with cutting and clean up (more firewood). The half that fell in the pen with the goats....
They are enjoying an unexpected snack along with a new toy to run around and jump on....
Here also are our two new little ones, on the right is Bucky and left is Sadie
Goats are so fun to watch, they find play in everything around them.  When we get all this cleaned up so the co op can set the new pole I can't wait to see what the goats think of the new pole and I also ordered a dust to dawn light for the top of the pole so some of their pen will be lit at night....

Floor removal and due date....

The kitchen floor in my youngest daughters house seemed to be sagging....well it took a bit to get friends of ours to check it out but we assumed it would just be a minor repair.....(I have learned never assume anything) but just in case they (her and her boyfriend) packed a few items and came home for a few days.,,
They removed a little of the floor and found one of the support beams had broken and others needed replaced....so they had to remove almost 2/3 of the floor and  jack the house up.
I thought it was very interesting I have never seen this done and you never know when something you have learned may come in handy.....knowledge in a lot of different area's has came in handy a lot of times....but then it has also gotten me stuck a lot also...
Why is it though when you think it will be a small project, it never is...
The next morning we came back so they could finish the job and realized that the cat had found a new area to play (under the house) and did not want to come out, cats can be so stubborn sometimes.,,,
This is the mess we (my daughters boyfriend and I) have to clean up from the floor removal.....then the tile needs put down, hoping we can get this finished so my youngest can be back home before she has the little one....
Her due date is today, I told her to relaxed give it a few days (up to a week) so we can get their house finished.....here she is yesterday hula hooping with her older brother, what part of calm does she not understand.... :)
