Congratulations on Grandy and Rocky. Greyhounds are the most wonderful dogs. We love our Mexicali to pieces. Sorry to hear that your first was abused. I guess that happens sometimes, but...

It's been a long time since I had my '66 coupe but I'm guessing if the car is a 289 really in showroom condition w/ 28k on it's worth $10k easy and probably a LOT more if it's a fastback. My...

And don't forget there are always retired greyhounds looking for homes. They are generally 2-3 years old when they are offered for adoption and make absolutely wonderful pets. Look on the web to...

BTW: Stone dust is about $8.50 a yard (+ delivery).

I would die for one. I think a good one with hydraulic feed goes for 6-7k (which aint bad as a stand alone unit of similar capacity would probably be twice as much). But it's low on the priority...

I'm just finishing up a horse fence around a 2 acre pasture now. The guy that does my excavator work told me that he backfills with tamped stonedust. I tried it with this fence. It's certainly...

The ones I'm talking about appear to be part of the trim package on the metal building. They appear very similar to the trim piece used on the gable (wrapping over the roof panel with a gap in the...

Richard,

Are you able to get steel gutters that match your siding or trim? I know you shouldn't mix aluminum and steel, unless you put a gasket in between to seperate them.

What's the best gutter solution out there? Does anyone have those gutters that wrap over the roof panel on the eaves to give that built-in appearance? Anyone find a supplier that supplies painted...

We use "super seven" (I'm not sure of the brand) and it 'works', meaning it does something for a while as compared to nothing (which most do). And it too is like liquid gold at $50 something a...

KV vet supply
http://www.kvvet.com

My wife orders mainly from them, good prices I would guess. Most of the boxes the UPS guy bring me (about twice a week) say KV Vet on them.

Once you get on...

I guess it has something to do with the size of the horses too, especially for the leaning over the fence part. You perspective might be a little different if you own some of those Mack truck...

I guess everyone else seems to think taller is better, but I agree with you. I've always heard the figure 54" for the typical horse fence. That's even the default figure mentioned by RAMM fence in...

>10k for stalls

This is not unreasonable for nice stalls, but they should be nice (especially the hardware and grills (welded & powder coated)) for this price. No cheapo cannon ball sliders...

You say you live in NY/PA area. I just went downstairs and grabbed the latest issue of Lancaster Farming. There are at least a dozen Pole Barn builders advertized in section D. Pioneer Pole Barns...

If you build it yourself rent a Rough Terrain scissor lift. You can use it to put up the trusses and do a lot of the roof work. It'll knock a lot of time off your project.

I wasn't sure about the pricing on the modular stalls either. Between the SYP, grills for the stall fron and window, National sliding door hardware, and mats (which I didn't include above), I spent...

I did a quick search using google and "Black Walnut" & horses and came up with a bunch of stuff. I didn't go through it all but here are a couple interesting links.

It seems the problem with...

I've definately heard of horses foundering and dying from exposure to black walnut trees. I think the black walnut is much more toxic than the english walnut. Anyone I've ever talked to about it...

Black walnut trees will kill all your horses if they eat any part of them in any quantity:(

Cut them down, spray the entire area with roundup and verify that none come up again. If they are...

I don't know about paint but it soaks up stain like a sponge, to the tune of 1/2 gallon per sheet. Make sure you include that cost in your calculations. And if you are using stain buy the cheap...

We prepared our entire site with 12" bank run gravel, then 6" of 1/4" processed, then added 6" of stone dust in the stalls only.

Is there an advantage to using limestone, or is that just what is...

I agree, follow the lie of the land. I only deviate +- 4" to accomodate very small dips and such. Here in New England there is no such thing as "flat" or "level".

I shoot for 54" and vary up to plus or minus 4" to follow the contour of the land. It seems like the right height to me and similar to many other horse fences I have seen. I've never felt it is too...

>Unless you KNOW that you'll never have anything but quarterhorses or older, more sedate horses...

Don't under estimate those QHs, they are the most athletic horses in the world...
