Building stalls

The fellas have been working hard on building out the stalls in the new barn.  These will be the larger, foaling stalls and Jackson intends for this to be the breeding barn. They are doing all the inside work themselves and I am quite used to the sound of hammers going for many hours.  :)  One thing Marvin noted that is quite impressive about both Jackson and Jonathan... when they get tired of hammering with one hand, they just switch to the other!  Completely ambidextrous on that.  Marvin laughed and showed them how he hammers when his right arm gets tired... he just has to use both arms together!!  Both Jackson and Jonathan have always been able to interchange hands on most tasks.  I find that amazing - I can't do much at all with my left hand.  

Anyway, on to photos of some of their work.  It is really coming along... and in the midst of all the other jobs they are doing here at WCR (and beyond!).

I really like these new stall fronts from American Stall.

I went down to the barn to check on the boys and they have really been working hard.  Look at all they have done.  This is looking so good!  I love seeing them working together and am thankful for these wonderful sons. 

I was chuckling on this day because I was hearing hammering coming from about every corner of Willis Creek Ranch.  Marvin was working on the back deck and the boys were working in the new barn.  :)  I decided to walk down and take a look at their progress and smiled at the sound of their hammering.

The boys have made more progress on the stalls in the new barn.  You can begin to see how it will have 3 large foaling stalls on the right and 2 on the left.  Looking good!
