Preparing the foundation

In mid January after some delays, we finally got the permits for the stable, arena and hay barn.  Frank Cullen went right to work digging the foundation for the buildings.

In this photo the hay barn foundation is in the foreground.  Beyond the equipment you can see the 20 acres of planted pasture and on the right the foam walls  for the barn are waiting to go up.  We have had a lot of rain and will need to wait until it drys a bit to pour the concrete.

Putting together our Design/Build team

Giant wash out

The person in charge of  removing the old buildings and leaving the area looking like native California grass land was Jim Killian of JK Maintenance.   He is an artist with a bulldozer!   Jim also did an unbelievable job on a huge wash out that was working it’s way up the center of the property and would eventually ruin an entire grassland/pasture area.
