My oh my, how far we've come!

We've passed our 2 year mark since we moved here to Westwood....I have been reminiscing about projects passed....let's take a little trip down memory lane...it's important to remember where you came from, ya know? Can you see the differences in the two pictures below? Pic #1 was taken when we bought Westwood. Pic #2 was taken last month (2 yrs later).... Scroll Down for details...

(Differences: Wire fencing and T-posts all around area removed. Brush removed. Driveway re-graveled. Fencing off old barn outside of pic removed. Pedro's paddock repaired/built. New 2-stall cottage built. New concrete patio off lounge. Unseen: All wood railing/boards replaced on paddocks and 1/3 of arena. All manure removed from indoor arena, new footing added. New footing outdoor arena.)

In the pictures below, you can see some of what we started with in the horse barn. What you can't see is what the INSIDE of the stalls looked like. many of the stalls on the right housed rabbit cages...stalls on the left served as shelter for sheep and goats....and the two stalls nearest the indoor housed two horses. The wash rack was also storage for sheered wool, floor to ceiling!Can you see the difference btwn Pic #1, Pic #2 adn Pic #3? Scroll Down for details...
