You are so funny Diana. Hubby is making some calls to get the iron fence bars so he can begin welding. The weather looks absolutely crummy until Sunday so not sure how much can be done in the next day or so. But, it's a start so that's good!

Well...Change of plans. Before Robert began marking off the yard this past weekend for our horse, he thought he'd talk to the land owner one more time about buying a hunk.

Well...The land owner says "You don't want that land, it's too hilly for your horse and a barn. But ya see that area in front of your house? I'll build a stall and tie it off w/ barbed wire. That'll give ya enough room for ya horse. I'll just charge ya a monthly rent to try to get back the costs of building the stall".

Huh?????? Dazed and asking hubby a million questions as he only talked to hubby about this (I hid in the garage) I wasn't sure if maybe he'd sale us this chunk he was planning on building a stall or not? Come to find out, nope he STILL doesn't wanna sell any of it. But he will build the stall, we will string the barbed wire, and it will be done by Feb. 1st when Bay's gotta get off the pasture he's on now.

So...at this point I don't know what the rent will be. I don't know what his intentions are for doing any of this and it sorta makes my head spin. And I don't know a thing about stringing barbed wire but I think I'm gonna be learning real quick here. I have to say, this section of land is real nice, it's flat. And another good thing is our yard wont be torn up by Bay. Plus, his new pasture will be just steps from our front door so that's such a bonus too!

Anyway...he's normally such a grump of an old man. So I really wanna know if he's doing this for goodness outta his heart?, or he's gotta plan up his sleeve? I just don't know, LOL....Guess I'll be finding out wont I??

Maybe the Christmas Angels sent him to you Sheryl. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth..LOL Don't really know what that saying means, but since you have a horse, just thought I'd throw it in.

Sounds like things are coming together for you and Bay. Don't question good intentions.

Oh my gosh, that is funny Janet!!!! Good one there!!

Anyway - I guess it's just hard to explain this person. Even other's who live here are questioning his actions. Wondering if it's a control over the area here or something.

But you are right...I need to give him the benefit of the doubt and be trusting of his actions. I guess it's hard when hubby and I have been burned out here. What do I have to loose right?

Sheryl, i think it's a good thing, and just think, if it doesnt work out, you can always go with your original plan. Maybe the guy saw "the light" LOL

Sheryl, I think that your husband needs to talk to this man about how much rent he's going to be wanting for this. You would hate to feel obligated to pay a high rent that you weren't expecting to pay.

That would be an ideal setting for you and your horse and I'm glad that it's working out. Just make sure that there aren't any surprises after he gets it built.
