Day 27 - (May 22) rain water system installed

Day 27 we spent the day installing the rain water system

 the day started rainy, this is view from inside the skid steer thru wiper, who knew we could fit two in the cab!

 picking up barrel #1

 rinsed out and moving to location

 here it goes

and in place

 picture to mark the power, water gas on east side of house

 while Sheldon back filled, i made a temp day pen for the ponies

 they thought they were free to the 80 acres

but found the hot fence and the berm (extreme trench on far right of photo)

Baby still insisted she explore and check roots etc. Pepper once gates open ran straight to the molasses mineral tub. finally after an hour he came to see the new food patch.

 while back filling "someone" backed into the first tank so had to go in and push out the dent!

 We rinsed out tank #2 and brought it to location but as it bounced all over, "someone" put a hole in the bottom!

 it is now sitting on the side in order to patch. In the meantime I loaded old hay, raked etc

 so was in need of a beverage break. The power cable spool makes a wonderful table

 Britt, Shaina and friend Cassidy work the horses

dirt today went from this

to this :-)
