I'll just go ahead and add that one to the list of things to build around here.

(Right after the Underwater Glass Observatory for the Pond)

Nope, no thanks. My hair is white enough as it is. With that thing in my pasture, my goats would gleefully toss themselves from the top, land like a cat, then scramble up the steps to do it again.

And I would die of heart failure on the spot.

I have had a picture of that tower saved on my computer for a while. I show it to Hubby every once in a while hoping that he will decide that he needs to build one. He hasn't been compelled as of yet.

We have a goat that I KNOW would get her foot stuck in those spaces between the boards.

There's a lot of things I want and need for my goats, but that ain't one of them.

It would be my luck that (if I had goats) mine would fall off. :|

It looks like a fairy tale. Unfortunately I can also see my goats shoving each other off or one hanging upside down with her foot between the steps. And I can't see myself climbing to de-poop the upper room.
Having goats is a crash course in reality planning................... One always has to plan for poop.
