Well, the minute we moved Hammy into the temporary pen to allow for Ruby and Jaws' reunion, it started raining. J tried to rig up a piece of plywood against the fence to create a leanto but Hammy had chosen a different spot for her nest and while the shelter was dry, the pig was not. We had to build a shelter where Hammy wanted it.
We took three pallets and an old plywood roof to make it. J used the nailgun because we're out of 3 inch screws. We secured two of the pallets to make a corner. We then mounted the roof to the top of the pallets. The roof was larger than the pallets so we took the third pallet and secured it to the open end. It didn't reach all the way to the other pallets, leaving a "window" in the back of the shelter that Hammy seemed to like. We then filled the shelter with hay. Hammy went to work immediately, creating a nice little nest for herself. She spent the remainder of the day in it, happy as a hog in hay.
