Not having enough to do Pronto our lovely Andalusian horse decided to make a meal of his stable door. Yours truly to the rescue armed with lots of enthusiasm and little know how set about the task ably supervised by several Berners
one of which Mr Bear was definitely not paying attention.
Like most of Rock HQ the door wasn't quite square and the wood I had was just over 2 inches in old money wide so an executive decision was made to have the planks going across rather than down. The only reason apparently for downhill wood is that water drains better that way but as we live in an area devoid of rainfall, ahem, that seemed like a lot of sawing for a little gain.
Having the planks go across also means that should he start chewing again only one plank needs replacing. Win Win as yours truly is concerned.
Spotty paid a little more attention to detail than his brother.
And was never in the way, well hardly ever.
In the rubbish heap I managed to find the two hinges from the old door so in true BOGOF fashion I knocked up a second door
so by end of play the stables were as good as new. Well almost.
That left just enough time to engage in a bit of Halloween shenanigans with the apprentice and rug rat mkII.
Whilst the later part of the evening was spent making a fuss of Elf who tomorrow becomes a tri paw.
