Barn Building

All of the support posts are in the ground.
Next is cement.

Two stalls, center wash rack/grooming area & two stalls. We placed the posts straight with the arena posts and the center stall is only 10'8" wide, the stall fronts are 12' so it might not fit. That's OK, if its a grooming area it doesn't NEED a stall front but if we want a 5th stall then it sure would be nice if the front fit properly. The drain is finished.


I had my horse trainer come over to see Wifi, shes been lame for too long. Looks like she might have took a tumble, fallen onto her withers and back. Made an appointment with Doctor Finn in Poulsbo for chiro treatment. I was going to haul her out there but after thinking about it, its easier on Wifi to have the vet come here. Traveling in the trailer after chiro would probably just get her all jacked up again. I'll get photos and video of that. Tomorrow and the next day I'll be bathing Wifi and getting her all prettied up.

Today several tractor implements were moved out behind the barn, out of sight. There is a BIG hornet nest somewhere in the wood so tonight we're going out to move the wood. If we can locate the nest we'll be able to spray it tomorrow.

The fence in the background of this photo is going to be removed and a new one will be built. The chicken coop will be moved soon too, I hope it ends up along side the wood shed but don't know for sure if it will fit there or not. I'd like to have a contained run where the hens can be on days we're gone that they cant get out of but still have a nice big area and vermin can't get in.

Taking the Plunge

I signed up for another run/race. Its the
RUN FORREST, RUN 5k
at Joint Base Lewis McCord,
followed by a free concert by Gary Sinise & the Lt Dan Band.

This will be my first race since my foot started acting up a year ago and needless to say, I'm pretty excited to participate. 
AND I'll get to see Gary Sinise, whom I am a HUGE fan of.
