The last couple of months have been grueling. In April, the weather was so cold and rainy that we couldn’t really work outside. We were able to take advantage of that time to get the interior of the barn finished. May rolled in, it dried out and we went from temperatures in the 50’s right up to the high 80’s. It was time to get out and get things finished up outside! I have been out of town two of the past three weeks (OK, one of those weeks I was on vacation) and every daylight hour that I’ve been home has been heads down, working. I’ve taken on new responsibilities at work (when it rains, it pours!) and trying to get the barn finished up for the horses has been overwhelming. Actually, the barn hasn’t been that hard – the fencing, on the other hand has been brutal (see my previous post on the Sucking Vortex!).
Things are starting to come together, though. Gator and I spent a couple of long days setting fence posts.
There was definitely a learning curve that took place, but once we got everything laid out and we figured out a process, we got into a rhythm and things started to move along pretty quickly.
From there, we got the corner bracing done, the gates in, the wiring up and had stone dust delivered for the dry lot.
A few finishing touches and we’re ready for horses!
