Re: Does Anyone Have Movable Stall Walls?
So over the last couple of days I have been thinking hard on the advice of "live with it for awhile" and "don't tear down any building you don't absolutely have to" thatbI got from you folks, as well as our realtor. It is amazing to me how ideas can morph and improve with time, n...

Does Anyone Have Movable Stall Walls?
Another reno question…. Good friend/our horse vet came over for dinner and a farm tour this week…she had a GREAT idea about The Little Red Barn to get the tack/feed room and wash bay in the same barn as stalls will be (as opposed to being in the nearby Little Gray Barn). Only consideration…it would ...

Suzon, part of me wishes I was still trying to decide where to put a barn. The downside to these buildings is where the original owner placed them...down hill.

Been googling for two hours now. The longer I read, the more the camps are becoming equally divided. Though I'd love to hear the most recent experiences people have had.
