Once Upon A Stall

We actually started on this project last Thursday evening and I've been taking pictures every day of our progress.  On Thursday it was rainy and I forgot to bring the camera over into the barn.  I wasn't about to walk back over to the house and get it, so I just used Robby and Mom's camera phones.  

These pictures are TERRIBLE quality, but 

the lighting wasn't the greatest so it'll do. 

   

Dad being Vanna White haha

As you can see it was a mess over in that corner!  The previous owner left most of that stuff there.  Some of the wood on the left, was from us cutting down pallets. 

Got the good camera now!

We cleared everything out of that corner and stacked up all of the bricks.  There were so many!

We didn't get to work on the stall Friday, but Saturday we got out there and worked most of the day.

Section cleared and ready for
installation of stall, sir!

The first post we set into the ground.

Time to get this dirt raked the way we want it.

My hard working man! I joined him
right after taking this.

Robby getting his rake on.

  

After getting the post on the right sunk, and the ground raked,
Dad & Robby got the boards attached up top.

This is the big dog gun. Robby & Dad love it.

This was on Sunday. Charlie, our cat, decided to check out our work.

First boards are up.

Starting to look like a stall!!

This was left by the previous owner.  It's going to be perfect for a gate on the stall!

These boards were left by the previous owner.
Yay for free wood! 

I love how this looks and I'm so
glad I was able to help :D

This was the last thing we did on Sunday. We sunk both the wood and metal posts, and attached the gate to it.   

We made a ladder to get up to the loft where we'll keep the hay .  Works great!

Got to make those cuts perfect.

Taking measurements for the loft floor

I just stood back while the muscle men did this part hehe

The wonderful loft Robby & Dad built.

Robby had this handle in his van, but it just got in the way so,
he took it off and used it here!
It works so great for getting up and down from there. 

Ready to see the semi-finished project?!?!?!?!

Drum roll please..............................................................................................

We're using the stall to keep our ladder from running away at the moment...
If you were wondering haha 

TA DA!!!! There it is!! We still have to install a door in the back...that's why you see two posts leaning to the left.  We also have to get the electricity run over there and install a light.  It's almost done though! I think we'll also be starting on a milking station soon.  Lots of work to be done, but its so much fun and VERY exciting.
