People may be wondering why we are starting with the interior and not the exterior structural work.... well two reasons- First, is that it is still winter here and ground is frozen which means impossible to do any digging to put it the sonotubes for braces/supports for the outside wall. Second, the structure where the stalls is going is minor fixing or joists which are interior work......and of course...thirdly, because I need somewhere for my horse to come home to in a few weeks. He decided he could do the two stalls while waiting for spring to arrive and meet the goals of having somewhere for Raphi by end of April.....We are also waiting for lumber to be readied. We have ordered lumber from a local sawmill as we don't need to pay for planed lumber, we will be using rough lumber for the support walls etc. This will help our budget a lot! However, we are using retail lumber for all the support posts and stalls. We are reusing the old stall lumber as it was in perfect condition.
