Table Clamps

Purchased the clamps to hold the table top together after we glue the top boards together. I didn't want to glue it but it will certainly be sturdier with glue.

Now There Are 12

All 12 of the supporting posts have been cemented into the ground.

Here you can see the aisle to the right and the stalls on the left.

 You'd think the arena would be measured correctly but this middle stall will be 10.5 feet wide. Its the one we're making into the wash rack/grooming stall. Really hoping the stall front will fit onto it since those measure out at 12 feet wide.

New Post

The first row of upright posts have been in the ground for a few weeks,

this is the aaisle

Last weekend we got 2 posts for the second row,

these are the stalls

See that hill in the background? Our old farm is over there so we drove past today to see how they've changed things. Not much, if any changes. 

See the indent in the trees? That's a road, its directly across the valley from our farm. We drove down the road and checked out our farm from over there; nothing is hidden, that's for sure. If they are paying attention, they will see this new barn as it goes up.

Two days ago a coyote was in the yard, ready to catch on of my chickens so I had to scare it away. Now we're got a rifle out there for just in case. His paw prints are all over.

Barn Roof Plans

This rusty metal would be the PERFECT roof for my barn

But this is what it will look more like.

This is not a bad thing, just that I prefer the rusty stuff.

Chris is coming out this weekend to give us a quote on what a roof on the barn, shop and garage would cost us. The shop & garage are not included in the plans for the money we have now so those will be quoted for future project funds.
