I know, I know. How dare I lead off yet another post with pictures of fencing???? But there's good news from Whispering Oaks. The fencing is done! Yes, I know, I can't believe it either. The rolls of fencing above and the gates are now all neatly and very professionally(I might add) installed. The angels in heaven sang the Hallelujah chorus as we completed the last piece of fencing a couple of nights ago. You didn't hear the angels? Seriously?
And this is what some of the boys pasture looks like now. I realize the fencing isn't quite done in the pic on the right, but, trust me. It's done now! AND, the concrete guy called and said he could come.....would 7am be okay? Okay! You betcha, come as early as you want to come. And so they did.
This is Brent pulling stone from our ever-present pile in our parking area. He used the stone to level out some areas in the stalls before setting up the concrete forms.
And lo and behold, a few short hours later the forms were ready and the concrete truck arrived, full of great, grey slushy stuff. Yippee.
The first truck had to back up next to the barn to reach the boys side of the barn. Um, we now have pretty significant divots along the barn. Oh, well, time for some top soil and a little pasture seed anyways. Ha! What's another little "project" after all we've done this summer?
THE guys.....ready and waiting for the real work to begin.
And begin it did.....in earnest. These guys really hustled to push, pull and jostle the flow into place.
And in less than an hour, we had smooth ready to set-up cement in place. Whew, one side down, another to go. It took a couple of hours before the second truck made its way from town to our farm.
More on that later....
