Stables!

Long time, no post! John and I have been working very hard over the last two months both at our day jobs and also getting the stables erected and fitted out so at the end of each day we have been exhausted. It has all been worth it though as the stables are now at a point where I can at least use the breezeway to treat Pete's injured hoof.

Here is the journey....

The stables, finally erected.

Electricity on its way. Lamp posts every 3m.

Concrete for the tack room and breezeway.



Wood waiting patiently for frames.



Brushing the surface of the concrete to create grip for steel horse shoes. Thank you Eli James for helping!

View out the back roller door. The wash bay will be through here.

Tack room skeleton.

New toy for Trisha! or was that Happy Birthday Sweetheart...

Tack room skin.

New water tank - hurrah! 25,000 litres :)

Lots of tools. Thanks to my brother for the steelwork :)



Feed bins made by John's Dad, overhead cupboards assembled by me!



Outside of the stalls is complete!



Feed bins get some colour and old bins get empty.



Inside the tack room. Mmmm, nice! Cupboards assembled by me :)

So that's where we are up to. The stalls are still not useable and are having external doors put into them to allow the horses to come and go as they please and the washbay is being concreted this week, weather permitting. I've still got some minor painting to do as well and the front of the stables will be concreted too. All things in time :)
