Windstorm

We had a bad wind storm last night. They had predicted gusts at 45 mph and I think we got some of them. As you can see it knocked over the pool. We had drained it most of the way so we could take it down. It looks bad but there were only four broken metal pieces and a few of the retaining clips. They can all be ordered from the manufacturer's website.


The aftermath. Haley played in the mud.

Cathryn getting to feed the horses one more time.

She had to go. We couldn't keep her because the Army wanted her back.

We got the pool taken apart and laid out the pieces for inventory.

I posted about the new muck cart yesterday and forgot to include a picture. I took some today. It isn't in the same pristine condition as it was yesterday. It probably never will be again. It works quite well. The handle and the dual wheels make it so you can pull as well as push it.

Paige is ranging. We finally got the time and weather to work on the kick wall again.

We were tramping through the mud a lot carrying boards so we tried a few ideas to make it easier. The boards worked but you have to be careful because they act like skis. We left them out there to see how they survive the horses.

The back wall is done.

  3. The pool liner and all of the upright posts are okay. Three of the horizontal poles and two of the y-connectors got bent. It's still good.
