Day 16
Day 16 – Click for larger image

Yesterday the builders came back and put in a french drain around the lower side of the barn. Expensive, but I know I will never regret it. The hillside slopes so steeply towards the stalls there. They also finished the work on preparation for the concrete guy, who is coming Tuesday I believe. Loads of rock came for the back area (I need to spread it once I am sure I won't mess up the builders). The plumber/electrician came and tested the water lines and did some other fixes. All seems well on that front. 

The project (phase I – the shell) is nearly complete now. The only hiccups left are getting the door frame for the one stall door (they say it will be *another* 7-10 days. This screws us up and is pretty irritating.) and figuring out how best to run the electricity from the power pole in front of the barn to the meter box. I have a call in to the electric company for that. 

I am going to take some internal and periphery shots, but for now, I had to get this morning view from the front porch. Awesome.
