Oh Happy Day !!!!
The Horse Waterers are getting installed, just in time before we have to put the hoses away each day. After two winters, I am glad to be moving past that trouble. Last winter was especially "interesting" - dragging 200 feet of hoses from the garage through 2 feet of snow a couple times a week wasn't too bad. However draining the hoses after use and putting them away was a mess.
We are installing two Nelson Waterers. One is in the shed so it will be positioned between two stalls should we decide we need a stall in the future. The other is outside on the heavy use pad, located so that if we enlarge the shed length-wise it too will be between two stalls.
The heavy use pad we started before the first snow storm last winter has been enlarged and improved by one of our neighbors, who is a general contractor and also put in our septic system when we built the house. I love it, it is much better than what we had last winter, most importantly it has finer, stone dust on top so it makes it easier to clean.
Not sure what happened with this - it was suppose to have posted last winter! Ahh well, lack of attention on my part, I guess.
