You've made a lot of progress since my last visit, Dave.  Apropos of your comment in today's Chat thread, you could use a half-barrel for the pigs' water, maybe hemmed in with biggish rocks so they don't push it around or dump it (yes, I've owned pigs).  The lazy alternative would say the fenced area includes a small stream out back.

I can cut down one of those Grandt barrels I have somewhere, that would be appropriate.  The feed would just be tossed on the ground, no need for a separate feed container?

Maybe the other half of the barrel, or a crude crib - pigs make mud for their own entertainment. While they aren't at all picky, they won't dig small stuff out of mud in my experience.
