With the silly season upon us, and the weather, and returning to my "regular" 9-5, things have been slow to progress on the barn.
I say on the barn, because all the day to day stuff (did I mention blowing snow?) has kept me busy, actually with just barely enough time to squeeze what I absolutely need to do.
Just how much snow fell? You be the judge. I think I'd eviscerate the plow guy if he did this to me!
I had hoped to finish the warm room weeks ago, but that's been put on hold, so we've been hauling water to the horses. The temporary stalls are still temporary, and I've discovered perhaps too temporary, as Mac and Pearl seem to have found ways to escape, or at least challenge the boundaries of my design...sigh.
I did manage to get the last gable end finished... the one I had left unfinished, because it was out of the prevailing winds... that is of course, until a blizzard blows through...sigh. It's amazing how efficiently you can work when the wind is howling and snow is blowing down the back of your neck.
The weather is supposed to be horrendous starting later today...at least from an outside work perspective... rain. That means I need to get hay this morning, to be sure I have enough while we're away during the holidays. Just no repeat of last weekend...I still have an imprint of the truck's tailgate on my butt!
