For the last couple of months we have been collecting Telephone poles for a horse shed, well today we got started on in. It was a beautiful day to work on the shed, all muggy and rainny. If you live in our area you find out really fast that those are the best days to do any kind of outside work. We are going to actually make two sheds. One is going to be in our small horse pen ( Woodrow's abode). It is going to have a rather strange shape. We put in three corners for it and then on one of the corners we have a much taller pole along with a shorter pole. We are going to attach a brace from the tall pole to the front of the roof inside the pen. Today though all we did was get the poles in the ground. Shea was nominated as the pole hole digger (not the most favorite job of all), Garrett and Gabe had to carry wheel-barrel loads of dirt from the high side of the pen to the low side to try to even it out some. And Dad and Kacy took care of the pole aspect of the project. They had to measure, cut, load the poles into the back of the truck, and haul them over to the holes. If you think that is an easy job you are as wrong as you can get.....I think those poles were marinated with pitch!!!!
