See - perfect all the way around.
You bet!
I think the messages sent to everyone whilst James(deaconjim) was on here will get me a stable sooner than expected! LOL (he loves his workshop just the way it is!)
We visited some people today that packed railroad ties down for the floor of their barn. Have you ever heard of that? At my stables, it's high and dirt except for concrete runners.
wasn't it uneven?
workshops/garages are their sanctuaries I think. I organized my husbands once. It looked so nice and every thing had a place. He was mad at me for days.
It was but not more than a rough road though.
LOL i dont think James knows what organised is!
He is the most diorganised person i have ever met!

oops oops oops! LOL
In our eyes only. Ask him. I bet he will tell you he knows what corner or drawer or place on the floor where everything is:')
I would think thats more trouble than needed though, I have never seen a stable with that kind of floor.
I'd really worry about splinters coming off them - they are highly treated and that would cause one nasty injury and infection.
Our stall floors are dirt with rubber mats on top of that. Our dirt here is very sandy so it's porous and it takes several mats per stall to cover. That way urine runs off the mats into the cracks and is absorbed into the soil.
By the way - speaking of your wants. This is the coolest thread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1308793/posts
LOL.you would hope so, but no. He can lose a hammer whilst sitting down and not moving! I am not kidding!~ I have watched!
me either. It looked like a lot of work. We already have a blue print for ours (hubby drew it up). We just need a place to build it:')
we just need the time! We have plenty of space etc but need another 20 hrs in the day. Sleep would be nice too! LOL
I saw it. I'm usually called a bull dog . No one better ever call me a poodle though:')
When we had our barn built, I had the builder modify it so that the wall between two stalls on each side of the alleyway could be unlatched and swung back against the back walls. That way, two 12X12 stalls became a 12X24 stall for foaling.
Most of the time, my barn is five stalls and a tack/feed room but when I have mares foaling, it becomes a three stall. The stud still gets his, but the other four become two.
sounds great, guess i had better get lots of nails out for James for tonight, and maybe a spare flashlight! :O)
And expensive.... RR ties aren't cheap.
My barn is concrete with rubber mats on top and bedded with shavings. Concrete is nice for a very flat stable and cleanable surface. Yes, pee gets down underneath, but if needed, it is easy to soak up and dry out the floor underneath with some 'stall-dry' absorbant. It's easier than dirt, that will soak it in. Dirt floors underneath are fine, but either way, mats make stalls easier to keep stink-free for the long haul.
