I can see clearly now...

..rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way! And there are many!!

The main contractor has moved on to a new project so we are left with doing many of the finishing touches ourselves. Concrete should be poured early this week for the tack room, grooming stalls, lounge, and patio. I will hopefully get the grit rock necessary for the arena within the next couple days.

The pictures show the stalls (which are the most beautiful things ever!!) the arena and the tackroom. Cool huh??

And now for the details.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, our wait is almost over. All major construction is complete. Now we have to build the stalls, tack room, lounge, arena walls, put the footing in, pour the rest of the concrete, run the gutters, get the electric and plumbing done, and then we are done!!!!

Here is my "post forest" where the stalls are going to be. We are waiting on the thicker rough cut lumber to do the back and side walls of the stalls.

Do you think the horses would mind dodging piles of lumber? Here is the arena as it is today. We still have a little way to go, but the end is in sight now. Stay tuned!!

Celebrate!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLUE MOON STABLES!!!!

We have come a long way in a year and we have a lot to show for it!

I would like to thank everyone for being so supportive through the good times and the extremely slow times. This has been a windy road but it is so worth it!!

Pictures tomorrow.

Doors and More!

Elvis fans, sing it with me: In the cold Kentucky rai-yay-yay-yay-yain! Maybe we should be building an arc instead of a barn!!! Fortunately the weather inside the barn is quite dry, so work has progressed steadily all week. We have all the sliding doors installed, rough cut lumber between the arena and the storage area/tack room, concrete boundaries set, post holes for stall posts, and dirt work in the arena > 80% done. Whew!!!!

We also have identified the new Mascot for Blue Moon Stables.........
