Good luck on the door!!
LOL!!!

I cannot locate the issue with the warming hut plans in it

So I searched 'creeps' and came upon a great Goat Site with lots & lots of info on raising goats::

http://www.motesclearcreekfarms.com/index.asp

I would bookmark the site for such a wealth of info!!!
The warming hut I saw was about the same as all, built as calf & lamb creeps are.
The issue is the baby can get in & have extra feed & warmth, but the Mothers cannot.
This mainly consists of a stock panel built of wooden slats that is removeble to allow you to get in & clean & add feed for the babies.
But attaches firmly so mama cannot get it.
Then you can hang a heat lamp inside with a ceramic bulb bib...not a flimsy 'drop light' type light/lamp.
Get one specifically made for a heat lamp & wire it (baling wire type wire) to an overhead beam or section of wood so it cannot under any circumstances fall down!
A corner of a stable will work for a creep....out of the way of drafts & wind so the babies can go in & rest & sleep.
I will keep looking for creep plans.
Here is pics of self standing creeps:

Basically what you want to do is build the wooden bars that you see in the front of these small creeps.....and attach them in a corner of your barn/stall.
Babies can go through, does cannot.

Get the bathroom door open yet??

Here is instructions for easy creep feeder & you can also go 'back to the goat page' to see other goat stuff.

Anyways, once kids can get into a corner & does cannot...you can then feed the babies & have a heat lamp in there to warm them.

Yea, Terry went out to the garage and came back with something and got it open!! Stupid cat!! It's the same cat in the sweater picture! when he gets bored he goes around and opens up the draws and cupboards!! guess I'll have to buy baby locks!!

Well, I was going to tell you my sewing tote adventures have about come to an end, everytime I think I have my machine figured out, it does something stupid and either breaks the thread, or gets jammed!! I want to throw the piece of applesauce away!!!! I have yet to sew anything without being stopped because of one issue or another!!

This would be why I get frustrated and don't finish anything!!!
