Setting Posts

Our barn project is moving along. We’re putting in a new water system and closing in the pole barn, with sides. Jeff and our friend have been working on the plumbing once a week for several weeks, which they finished yesterday. Next week they’ll begin the electrical.

Jeff asked me to help him set posts on Saturday. And I really didn’t want to. What I expected would be hours of just holding up 16 foot posts turned into exactly that. About 4 hours of holding up posts. It was hard on the arms, let me tell you! But suprisingly, I enjoyed being outside working with him. It was a pretty nice day and it felt good to help with the project.

So, basically, this is what I did on Saturday.

    LOL Wardeh! 4 different angles of you holding a post. :D I’ve btdt. I prefer it over housework though I wouldn’t want to do it everyday. It looks like a good-sized barn. What all do you plan to house in there in the future?

    I’m sure you have btdt. Jeff said he wants me to help him put the sides up on the barn, too. I said, “You’re kidding, right? Me?”

    We’re closing it in and half of it will be for a shop and water system and feed storage and a milking area. The other half will be for the animals’ shelter. We’ll split up their area into sections, like for birthing, isolation, babies to sleep, etc. We’ve got a couple more weeks before the rainy season is here, so this is time crunch…
