Alrighty, progress! The second hay loft is in with railings, cabinets are hung in the tack room, and stall kick panels are coming along!

The hay hatch came out exactly as expected, particularly after the third try

Who would have thought hinges need to be square to the hinged part??
Once all the stalls are lined with wood, they'll be waterproofed and the gaps in the corners fitted with molding to seal the edges. This ensures pee stays in the stall!

Amazing what you learn about horses when you build a stall. I thought they just went up and down and around in circles for .25 cents!
So that does one do after a hard day at work in the barn for a reward? Why, build a sundae that rivals Friendly's, Braum's, or any Jersey Shore bike-up local ice cream stand!! Hmmm....I sort of have that Rat Fink look going on there. Man I need a haircut!
Cheers
