Laaaaaaand HO!!

Jeeze, Bill. Now you tell me! Coincidentally, the telephone poles (amazing that they're still called that when nobody really has telephone lines anymore it seems) are placed almost exactly on the property stake.

With rain moving in, not a good day to pound the remainder of the fence posts in. So what's someone like myself do when it rains? Watch a few movies? Play Candy Crush? Write fake scathing reviews for things I've never used on Google? Nah, although that fake review thing does sound fun! Nope... you move inside the barn and frame out the wife's tack room! The first shots show the sprayed insulation installed on the wall where the room goes. I had both of my entire shops done (walls and ceiling) and just the ceiling and the tack room wall done in the barn. To the left of that room will be horse trailer storage, and located across the main aisle from that will be tractor storage. The whole interior will be trimmed with tongue and groove clear pine stained cedar color with any exposed metal poles wrapped in cedar. Think Budweiser's Clydesdales hangout!! Well.... in my mind that's what it's going to look like. Realistically, I'm just going to put in a few beer taps. Man, speaking of that, go out and try Bud's new beer aged in Jack Daniel's whiskey barrels. OH...EMMM...GEE..... it's freaking good (and I don't like Budweiser) Anywho, where was I?

These are the outer walls and the ends are 14ft high. Pretty scary pushing that wall up there by myself, but where there's a will there's an idiot refusing to ask for help! I got this all done yesterday and today I'll finish by adding the divider wall and vaulted ceiling. A vaulted ceiling you say, huh? Why, yes! I mean, why not? The ceiling will be 8" wide tongue and groove clear pine trimmed with a large center cedar beam and two beams spanned across. I'm going for the "Tack Room of the Year" award from Tack Room Monthly digest!

More to come next week when I finish the fence posts and start installing the crossrails... all 1600 of them...

Cheers
