This however does not mean that DH and I were taking a nap and resting on our laurels! :-)
DH was busy constructing the pump cabinet, so that we can have the spray foam company in to foam it up weather tight. He also had to drill a water line hole through the 18" concrete / stone wall of the bank barn to bring the water line in from the well. It was a rather messed up job as he needed to rent a 4" concrete drill. Went all the way to "The Big Box Store" rented the unit on Saturday night 30 minutes before close. Got the unit home and realized the guy in the tool rental area gave him the wrong drill!! Damn! Back to "The Big Box Store" first thing in the morning to get the right drill. The actual drilling took about 30 minutes...but the ordeal itself took about 3 hours to sort out. What a pain! The hole is now in the wall and we are moving forward again!
I spent some time over the weekend trying to determine how clean I can get the arena windows without power washing. It's too cold now to power wash but to have the windows clean for winter riding would improve the quality of life during winter riding a great deal. I realize I won't be able to get them all clean but a test run was in order to see if there was possibility. Yep, once again elbow grease proves to be a miracle cleaner.
Here are the windows at the start.
Here is one panel completed.
I know it doesn't look like much here but it's a huge difference from the angle you look out when mounted.
My friend Reta came down on Sunday for a ride...so amazing to have her to ride with. Emma is doing great and totally loves getting out and being "Large and In Charge" again. We discussed a moonlight ride at some point this winter when the snow is on the ground. I can't wait!! There is something mesmerizing about a night ride; seeing your moon shadow with all the abundance of stars overhead.
