Horse Barn Progress June 16. 2007

[Ottawa Creek Bill]

Got the roof trusses set and some of the purlins nailed in place, finish them up tomorrow.

From 60 feet up, thats my wife Patty and son William. The two attached rooms are actually two 12' X 12' horse stalls.

Looking south from 60 feet in the air, our garden in the center. White River about two miles in the distance, beautiful day.


Gotta order the steel roofing for the main barn, finish framing in the stalls, pour the slab for my work shop, and I'll be in business!

I'm gonna see if I can borrow this boom truck when we go Elk Hunting in Montana this October!!

This looks great, Bill!

I can't wait to see it when it's finished.  See ya @ Hooten!

I have to learn to read better.  I thought it said house barn, then I saw the stalls and thought "Wow that guy really loves his horses to put their stall in the house".  Then I reread the post.

I agree, that would make for a nice view while hunting.  I would have to practice shooting straight down though.

Well I once knew of a feller that raised pigs in his basement so nothing surprises me anymore.  I think my sis-in-law would have her horses in the house if my brother would let her.
