Yard remodel - phase four

Framing the building

Work in progress...

The next phase was to turn the run in shelter into a hay storage building.  This meant a sill, a floor and another wall.  Plus doors to access the building.
Then we could fill it with hay!  And fence supplies.  And shavings.  And buckets.  And off season items.  And trailer parts.  And camping supplies....We found "horse" storage items everywhere.  In the tiny barn.  In the hay tent.  In the cellar.  In the attic space over the shop.  In the shop.  How nice it is to find what we need now all in one place!!

Moving the equipment back to the tent

Move in day for the garage tent.

Next we moved the hay tent, er--garage.  I was not present to photograph that!!  I guess it was simply a group of people who all lifted parts of the frame and walked it on up to the location where the barn had been.  The location was the path of least resistance anyhow.  There already was gravel there.  And an electric feed which is now hooked up to lights and power outlets.  That makes the boy happy as he's tinkering on some lawnmower or other.

Can we knock it down?  Please?

That only left a few more things to do.  Knocking down the old chicken coop for one.  This job seemed to call out to the boys to get it done.  The old coop was falling in on it's floor.  It was time to go.  It served it's purpose well and then even did some extra jobs of storage for another couple of years.  But it really was rotted and needed to go.  I'm glad the 3 boys were here that day and wanted to take it down.
