The next two shots are not really part of the barn but they are of the pond we just completed for the horses to use for water. It is fed by a very stong spring and is about 6' deep. Just planted the grass seed and the second shot shows the progress after 4 weeks....

What are you talking about. I live most of the time in Florida. Now there we have no winters.

Heck, last year here in GA it almost snowed. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here are a few shots of the last few weeks progress.

This is a overview from the house site showing the barn.

The next four shots show some of the areas where the stone goes. We devised a system to make the drip edge hold up better by using 5/4 x 6 plastic composit deck boards in a grey color to match the stone. This area always stays wet and wood rot is common. This new plastic wood has a 15 yr warranty and never needs painting. Gray color goes all the way throught. Just a little bleech and water to clean, just like the stone.
