The stall mats are finally here. These were on my original short wish list. I wanted to get 'nice' mats; durable, comfortable. We shopped around and picked the best we could. That's why it has taken so long to get them. The good don't come cheaply.
The mats are on a pallet in the parking lot, in front of the truck. Each piece is so heavy we can barely slide it, never mind picking it up. We'll try to slide a section at a time onto the mower deck and have the tractor bring it around. This sounds like so much fun! Right?
The instructions for installation call for clearing all the foreign debris out of the stall, leveling it out and hosing it down. Allow for complete drying, then place the mats in the stall. O boy.
A schematic shows how to place the five mats to complete the 10 x 12 size. It's a jigsaw puzzle with interlocking pieces!
I've been stock-piling shavings in anticipation of the mat installation. If we're not ready now, when will we?
So the other half must have a lot of patience if these buggers have to be dragged, fitted and then trimmed, I'd be on the other side of the farm when he put them in, DOES NOT sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteThe 'other half' is extremely patient, resourceful, talented and clever. We're using farm implements to move these pieces around. I have to help him as best I can, he can't do everything by himself. Can't wait til it is all done, but in the meantime, o boy.
