Vernal Ponds... yeahhhhh right. I've heard the same thing regarding our large lot. And the bit about re-zoning, I swear these folks pull this stuff out of their... hat. I think they just like to...

One tip - If it's like my town... buy another lot /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif . We are in the middle of small town hell right now. I'm playing by the rules, speaking to whom we are told to,...

Wow - What a wealth of practical answers to my questions. I'll need to re-read and post a few follow-up questions if you don't mind.

I'm not in the rush I was when I started this thread -...

I answered this one by going to the website (novel idea huh?). For anyone interested here is an excerpt;

Thanks Mike - I think we'll be using this for our moving borders. I appreciate the information. I'm intrigued by the solar charger, I just am concerned about down time on it... cloudy days or...

Thanks for the information. Non of my fencing will be to separate horses, containment only. The fact is, the pasture they're in now has some breaks in the fencing and they don't challenge it. So I...

I read on the other forum that someone might use them for a couple weeks - I would be likely using them in a temporary capacity... temporary for about a year. You think they won't hold up too well...

I bookmarked their site, based on one of the old posts. I'll take a look at it again. Mostly what I want now is a good long term-temporary ( if there is such a thing ) solution until we finalyze...

Funny you mention Hidalgo - we just watched that with my daughter tonight. My Wife and I thought it would be a good kids movie (10 yrs) - I must be desensitized to violence... We won't be watching...

Mike - can you give me an update on the electric mesh tape? I see you've used it for quite a while. I posted over on the tractor forum about it as well. I'm considering using this as a primary...

Sure, I would appreciate the information.

I did find a contractor out of Woodstock that does horse barns - they're a local affiliate of Wick Buildings called "Conceptual Construction". My...

Looks like this is the barn we're putting up. I'll know for sure in about another week - but I'm convinced this guy builds a good product, and is reasonable with the price. Check it out and let me...

Has anyone here ever used, or know of someone who used www.barnpros.com? I'm looking at their 36' by 36' barn kit, and I'd appreciate any opinions or experiences you folks can share.

Thanks,

Thanks Doc - Sounds like a remote control you're talking about. My barn will be about 75' from the house, so it won't be a real long run for what I'm doing. My plan was to put timers in the barn...

Thanks for the tips Lloyd - It's all helpful. I especially like the idea of the switch at the house. Re: shavings and hay - I'd like to put them in another building, but for now I'll likely have...

Excellent points... I can see your point on ammonia build up. I'll have to see how this thing costs out. Right now building costs up here are astronomical. Thats why we decided to build the barn...

Thanks guys - I'm taking a lot of notes - I appreciate you sharing your experience here.

Doc - ignorant question - do you put shavings over the rubber mats - or do you just use the mats and hose...

Hi Folks - We're about to meet with a few local builders and come up with some pricing for a new 4 stall horse barn. We're looking to build something similar to this -
...

Thanks for the link - my wife and I just took the virtual barn tour. I'll bet you can learn a lot being around folks who not only know a lot - but are obviously kind hearted.

Stall cleaning.... aghhh the smell of ammonia! I was doing that probably about the same time as you this morning. Do you have a web link to the rescue group that you're volunteering at? I just...

I just heard about this one yesterday. What a mess if it hits again... My brother is right outside of Daytona, in Ormond Beach. He owns a small equipment shop - I guess he sold darn near 30,000 in...

Well we'll see how it goes when they come here. My wife is a nurse, and she loves to keep everyone healthy! I hope they still have several years left - They really are quite pleasant. The one...

I don't know the averages... but we have two horses and a pony. The youngest horse is Rythm-aire (Morgan), is 25 years old, Bambi (Morgan/QH) is 30 years old, and Rusty (Shetland cross??) is 35...

I appreciated your advice on the electric fencing... would you offer an opinion on vinyl fencing for horses? We will be building a barn soon, and I was planning on doing at least some of the fencing...
