Wooo hoooo! all that's needed is the stall mats, lights and water!

recycling on a grand scale

I had the contractors remove the existing glass window on the back of the shed and replace it with a barred open window. I asked if they could fashion a shutter of sorts to close the bad weather out. Here's their resulting solution - a shutter made from the old door from the front of the shed, clever clever!

matted!

Stall mats to make it easy to clean. Lucky for me the boys don't usually use their run in as a toilet.

The couple I hired to do the Two Mule Palace rented a machine to cut down the hump in front of the shed, using that dirt as fill for the inside of the shed. (It took a lot more than just that dirt - there's quite a bit of road pack in there, too!) They also sloped the ground on a downward angle away from the shed to encourage surface water to run out of the pen. No mud pits here!

gutted!

Floor ripped out, here's what was underneath. Found part of a tractor, an old shoe, a beer bottle and a bone of some sort. Treasures!
Luckily the sills of the shed were in really good shape; only one corner was slightly rotten and that was replaced.
