It's been forever but it seems the rain has been forever keeping us from being out with our babies. Nothing but mud everywhere and we are so sick of it. I have gotten a few training days when I can find dry spots but fee and far between,
Jim has gotten a lot done on Phase one of the barn, The first section has been closed in giving us two stalls and an aisle way. The next stage will be to put in the second story and close the back of the barn till we get to mirror the completed section that stands.
this is what we are aiming for.....a close example of it at least.
I had the idea in my head and plans drawn when I found this. Great if I could have the exact oned as it even has an apartment upstairs.
Now ours will have the room up stairs (for now) porch will be similar..bottom a bit different as our roof doesn't extend with that overhang, we have windows in the front and will have the door but it will be solid, windows on the side too.
here is some of Jim's progress...he has done this by himself step by step. By summer we hope to have this part closed up including the top...in the future we will mirror it giving us 4 stalls and a nice like aisle way. For now it will be the two stalls and Molly will occupy the aisle since she has to be free to protect.
Side one is done
middle started
The MAN with the front side closed in...one more side in this phase to go
TADA last part of phase one
this is how it looks in the back right now. You have to picture the second story and the two stalls closed int. the stalls will have a half wall with sliding doors on the aisle way. This way when the barn is mirrored the stalls will be open next to each other half way up. Our kids all get along and love to be near each other so we won't make a solid wall or bar them. Right now each goes to their own to eat with no problem at all.
