Alrighty, progress! The second hay loft is in with railings, cabinets are hung in the tack room, and stall kick panels are coming along! The hay hatch came out exactly as expected, particularly after the third try Who would have thought hinges need to be square to the hinged part??

Once all the stalls are lined with wood, they'll be waterproofed and the gaps in the corners fitted with molding to seal the edges. This ensures pee stays in the stall! Amazing what you learn about horses when you build a stall. I thought they just went up and down and around in circles for .25 cents!

So that does one do after a hard day at work in the barn for a reward? Why, build a sundae that rivals Friendly's, Braum's, or any Jersey Shore bike-up local ice cream stand!! Hmmm....I sort of have that Rat Fink look going on there. Man I need a haircut!

Cheers
Dave

So your do-it-yourself barn kit even comes with a factory supplied pair of barn cats? Wow, they sure think of everything these days.

Sox should be out on varmint patrol instead of in the cage? So, I guess that cat stays?
I hope your cats keep your property and more importantly your garages rodent free.

You are making impressive progress. I like the hay hatch door idea. I've got the pull down ladder to my garage loft and never liked the hole in the floor, especially after getting a good dose of paint fumes while painting upstairs. Always afraid to fall into the opening. A hatch like this would work perfect to block to ladder opening.

Looking good Dave!!

Phil

Yes, Sox should be out prowling the grounds, but he’s only allowed out for a little bit here and there due to a broken pelvis which he had when we found him. He’s getting better, and is good at chasing things, but needs to rest for a few more weeks until he can live up to his full “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Sox” potential The other kennel is vacant, for now...

Big order of the final wood planking is today! Time to wrap this barn up! Yeah, right.....

Yep, Charley, you’re 100% right. Funny, I flew with a guy that was showing me this beautiful barn he built his wife. Looked spotless. He commented, “These pics are from last week but the barn is 12 years old.” Shocked, I asked why was it so clean? He said his wife won’t let the horses in there since she doesn’t want it dirty!!!

One thing Kelly is pretty fanatical about is keeping this barn clean, despite my intent on making complete messes in here anytime I set foot inside. Even the mud gets cleaned!

Cheers
Dave

... and since I had a spare moment between stall and hayloft work, I installed another run of fencing!

Cue Charley in three.....two.....

Cheers
