The Wind Wall

We put up a wall on the horse port to act as a wind break for the horses. Getting the screws in the metal posts wasn’t easy. We got bad screws from Lowe’s, they didn’t have the good kind so we took what we found. These were designed for fastening wood to metal but they must have been for metal studding and not metal tubing.

DSCF4319 Like I said in the video. We know OSB plywood isn’t good for exterior exposure but we figure Heidi will break it long before it has a chance to rot.

DSCF4320 We used 2x4s as battens and screwed the OSB onto them. When the weather warms up Lisa can paint it.

DSCF4321 Cory came over to pick up Randy. Lisa and I herded him down the hill. We had Daffy and 44 with us so he would feel safe. Randy did great and jumped right in the trailer. 

DSCF4322 That’s Edith’s Dodge 4500 4x4 Chassis Cab and aluminum stock trailer. Nice, very nice.

  1. Heidi probably will appreciate the wind break. I'm printing the recipe on your "What's for dinner?" recipe. Unfortunately I had to go back to work Jan. 18.
