Whirlwind Week!


So much going on this week - whew! The roof replacement for our old has is rescheduled for this Sunday and he came out to the farm to see about the roof leak. We need to get that done, too.

The barn was delivered and it is just plain AWESOME! It really changes the atmosphere. The barn definitely has a presence! We have to wait to stain it, the boards have to 'age' so we'll concentrate on putting in the remaining posts and boards to pin the dry paddock in.

And we have so much more work to do. The roof at Grandin will be done on Sunday, we don't need to be there. We have to install the fence posts that we already have to enclose the barn - to create another barrier from the 'outside world' for the horses. The barn is spectacular, they did a good job, and Steve the Amish dude said we did a good job, too, with the site prep (all that gravel!), and not to paint or stain for at least 2 more weeks.

Tom isn't 100% happy with the concrete pillars - the posts don't hit each one dead-center. He didn't know they could be that off and still be ok - now is sorry that we didn't do it ourselves for the $$$ it cost. its done, right?

Clint, our neighbor and heating/A/C guy, fixed our furnace so the house is always warm now. Carroll Fuel stopped over to fill the tank and we'll be good for many months now! Just throw money, right?
