My "honey do" list got worked on

As every wife does, I always have a "honey do" list sitting here for Doyle to work on. He also has his own "to do" list of stuff that he would like to work on. So this week, he did a combination of them as some of the items were the same.

It was FENCING time.

He went and got the post pounder from his boss and spent 2 1/2 days pounding posts along 5 lines of fence. He also made a new line of fence which is great.

He has a little more work to do one the new line - which is where the white gates used to be. He moved that entire fence line back about 40 feet. Which will make this winter a lot easier to move hay as he can get the tractor and hay into the hayshed without TAKING DOWN THE FENCE. This new fence is really nice too - 2 plank when finished.




He also repaired a lot of old broken down fencing - took off the old wire - put in new posts and will re-string with wire over the next couple weeks. One of the fence lines he put new posts in will not be wired until spring so that the horses can eat off of the two pastures at the same time. We are really hoping that will last them until December.

Doyle also pounded a post in at the round pen for me - now to put boards up in those two sections and I will be able to use it again.



We also designed our foaling stall for Dolly. She is due at the end of March which up here in Canada can still be pretty cold. It is going to be 24 x 16...with insulated walls and we will put 3 plexi-glass windows in so she gets some light. Doyle is going to get his buddy out with the bobcat to dig out the old dirt in there and then pack in new claybased dirt and then we will put sand down.

We also re-designed our mare/foal pens for when we get to the breeding stage of our stallion ownership with Hyde, Gunner and Molson.
