My intentions of posting a weekly progress update on the barn construction has failed -- mostly because progress stalled due to 1) we're a horse farm, 2) we're in Anne Arundel county. Thanks Maryland. And that about sums up the last 6 weeks of my life. Amazing how you can do everything right, yet when a single individual yields unchecked power without an effective appeal process ... sorry, did someone say we live in the 21st century in modern democratic America?? Thankfully Maryland has some fantastic horse people in the area who were ready and willing to take on a good fight on my behalf -- and we won, in a roundabout way. No restitution, no apology. But the barn moves forward, so I guess that's something. And my advice to anyone building anything in Maryland: GET IT ALL IN WRITING. Thankfully we did, so it just took 6 weeks to get someone with some sense to read that writing! I can only imagine how much worse things could have been had we not.
So, here is this week's photographic evidence of building progress!

THE BARN!
Perimeter foundation done and plumbing going in.
The large walls on the right are the wash stall ... or what I loving refer to as the Trevi Manor prison cell! |

| Arena drainage and base installation -- SO MANY ROCKS! |
 |
| Arena with hay shed/equipment storage wall ... ready for mirrors! |
