Re: Fence....
Got most of the back pasture fence done today. Also hung a new door on the house, the old one was a wreck and held shut with a bungee cord most of the winter until I could get at it. It was a nice bungee cord but still...
New decks front, side and back are the next upgrade this summer. Maybe new steel on roof too. Plus a coat of stain on the house. In my spare time.

Re: Fence....
Horses got out finally for a what I thought would be a romp around the pasture; nope. Barely got out of the corral, heads down and eating grass. Had to chase them to get them to run up the hill. They will get out tomorrow for another short time as well. Try to get them out for 30 minutes a day for a week or so. Can't take in rich spring grass too fast or they will founder. Moderation until they are used to it again.

Re: Fence....
I can relate. I should romp around the pasture a whole lot more than I do or want to. Unfortunately, I don't have RR to to chase me up that hill.RanchRoper wrote:Horses got out finally for a what I thought would be a romp around the pasture; nope.

Re: Fence....
More fence to do on Saturday. This morning I put a coat of stain on the west wall of the house (log siding). That wall takes a beating from the rain, snow, wind, snow, dust, snow, sun, snow....
