Long Day!

Hello everyone! Today was a very long day, for those of you who follow my pure horse blog, you would know this but for those of you who are new to my blogs, you know that I had an MRI today. After that I came home, ate lunch, and then we got down to work. Our horse round pen was made from chain link panels, Vironica and I spent awhile taking all the connectors off which involved digging up the bottom of the fence which has sunk a couple of inches in the ground to get to the bolts, then using a small sludge hammer to hit the bolts out and then take the connectors off. We did that 9 times, and then we went out to the old farrowing building and started cleaning, we moved all the tin roofing and old insulation to the other side of the building for now until we expand. Then we sweeped up the floor really good and put it all in a bin, after that Roni and I washed down the concrete and some of the wall, after that we spent about 2 hours un-burrying the bottom parts of the round-pen, and carrying them into the building we were finally finished, we started a little after 2 and finished at 7:30, the end result was pretty good. Vironica and I are going to put the connectors back on tomorrow and wash the panels. There is some insultation that we will be replacing and air windows that will need chicken wire along with putting up the individual dividers to seperate the broilers and layers and end panel with doors. When everything is said and done we will be able to house about 150 birds one the side we are setting up right now. If we do decide to expand and finish the other side we would be able to do double that, but for now we are going to keep it pretty small. Nick is going to do the electrical wiring which will give us working lights and eventually heat lamps. Anyways today was a very productive day, and I feel like I will definatly be sleeping in tomorrow. Here are a few pictures along with a video for you guys, I will try to get one up tomorrow of the little RIR girls for fun. Blog ya then!
