My dad recently bought a farm, and it needs some serious work. My BF and I have been working our butts off trying to get it ready for my horse and my step-mom's horse. They are going to LOVE it...the stalls will be HUGE (11'x12') and they will have a paddock out in back of the barn, plus acres of pasture.
Here is the interior of the barn:
This is from the the front looking in at what will be the stalls:
This is from inside the stall area:
My BF and I ripped out all of the existing feed bins and trough today, witha little help from my little sister. It took about 2 hours of hard work with a crow bar, sledge hammer and pitch fork (for the nasty old hay), but we got it done. Ripping out 36 feet worth of old wood held together with nails that have rusted into the wood is freakin' hard work!! We are going to build 2 walls to seperate the 2 stalls and the tack room, we need to put up heavy-duty wood paneling on the walls, make doors and windows for the stalls, grade the floor.... Am I lever ooking at a busy fall!! Hopefully we will have it ready with the basics within a few weeks, and the details can come later.
This is the paddock. My dad is going to buy some horse-friendly PVC fencing for this area. We need to burn the moldy hay and wood that's in the pile, and drag the whole thing with a heavy-duty magnet to pick up any nails or other metal debris.
