4 Stinkin Inches to the Left Would've Been Better

Good news: 8 Pony paddocks 90% complete!

A whopping 60 yards worth of gravel spread.

T posts in. Caps on. OK...99% of t-posts in. Last one...measure the distance...yes. Ready? OK pound it right here. OK! Bang Bang Bang... CRACK. Gurgle. Oops.

Had a little accident. I our efforts to be "exact" with our measurments...you know, to make everything look nice and aligned...we managed to hit the main water line from the well. Fuuuuuuuuudge. Well, mud. And water. Everywhere.

So, we had to take a little break from t-post project to fix the stupid pipe. Was getting dark, and cold...and the sealant couldnt dry. So farm boy temp fixed it for the night by using innertube tire over the whole thing. He's gonna be busy today doing a permanent fix.

In the mean time... we still have to measure for the inside step-ins ...again, on the Quest for Perfection. ;D

Splice and run the tape. Water buckets. Horses.

Ok, so maybe not 90% done..but pretty darn close! Hopefully the tape n stuff can be done during the week. Want to get the horses in them by Friday or Saturday. Woo hoo!

Cabo? Riding? Whats that?

Sorry to hear about your water misfortunes. We have had two of those. One man made, the other horse made.
The man made occured when my husband rented a Ditch Witch to lay in a water line to my moms mobil home. I told him to be careful of the side line going out to the yard. I no sooner went back into the house when pump went on. I went outside and sure enough, water gushing out of the yard. He had not even gone 10 feet.
The other one occured when somehow one of the horses snapped their water faucet line. Unfortunatly it was snapped down in the ground 3 feet where it met the main line running by the barn. Oh yeah, it was pouring down rain. In February and about 38 degrees outside and mud up to our knees. We noticed the well pump not shutting off when we had returned home from going out and so it was about 8 in the evening. We did an emergency cap on the stub after digging it up. Then had to go get a gadget to syphon the water out of the hole. I think it took my fingers 3 days to thaw out.
