Wow, great pictures (I had no trouble viewing them, by the way). Who made your horse stalls? They are really nice, I like that "arch" at the top of the doors.
Very neat idea on the stay roller issue for the exterior barn doors, looks like it works well. Always looking for new and innovative ideas, thanks.
Thanks.
The stalls are completely from scratch. I think there are some pictures from earlier this spring further back in this thread showing some of the work on the stall fronts. I made the arch-top doors from scratch too. I've seen them before, but they're pretty expensive and I'm not sure if they're available at a full 96" height. Everything I've seen online is 84". I wanted extra headroom going in and out of the stalls. Plus, I was able to make them for about 10-15% of the cost of buying them.
I use Mozilla3.6.11 and the pics don't resize. I have to move the bars L+R, U+D to see.
Btw, you can re-size without changing the pixels.
Nice work anyway!

Steve
Steve, I have the same version.
TBN facilitates automatic resizing using Javascript. You may have disabled Javascript on your browser (There's a checkbox in the Tools/Options/Content tab).
If you enable Javascript and reload the page, it should automatically display the pictures at only 400 pixels wide (with the option to click them to see full resolution).
Regardless, can anybody tell me how (or if it's possible) to force images to display here at a reduced size? If this was regular HTML code, I'd use the <img source="..." width="..." /> syntax. But this is more of a "dumbed down" version. Anyone? Anyone?
It's been a while since I've posted any updates here. 18 months since I started, and the barn is almost finished (though it's been functional for quite some time now).
Here are some of my accomplishments in the last few months:
I got the last two stalls finished and ready for horses. One of them is now occupied by a boarder.
I finally got the gutters done, so no more mud splashing up on the siding when it rains (though there are still some mud stains that need to be scrubbed off). I priced out the materials to do it myself - around $300. Then I called around and got some quotes for seamless gutters - around $300. Seemed to be a no-brainer. Other than pouring the slab, that's the only other step I haven't done myself.
I got the various driveways around the barn finished. That includes a big loop to be able to turn around horse trailers, a parking pad for boarders and visitors, driveways to the hay shed and manure pile, and a separate parking pad for our horse trailer. It took five loads of crusher run, most of which had to be spread with my tractor since it was too muddy for the dumptruck to dump-and-run.
I also got the sink plumbed in the tack room, loads of hardware hung in various places (blanket racks, saddle racks, bridle hooks, etc., etc.), the heat tape wired up, the outdoor outlets in the pastures working (along with trough de-icers), and most of the indoor electrical work finished.
