UPDATE!! STALLS ARE DONE!!
As of today, Friday the 24th the stalls have been built and the doors are fully functional. We still have a few things to do here and there. We want to add windows for the horses and I still need to raise the stall flooring and put the mats in.
I am just so in love with it and I can't wait to be finally finished and able to put in the rest of the hardware, buckets, and horses.
Start of this morning. All stalls can be broken down to make larger stalls.
I took a few ideas from other forum members barns and adjusted some to my likeing.
The finished product
Shyan - my test pony. We used him for everything. All the stalls were set to his height and size. He's my largest mini at 34".
UPDATE!!
The outside has been finished and the barn doors have been put on. The inside has been started. All thats left is to start building the stalls! Yipee

Well we are finally building ourselves a barn! I can't even express how excited I am.
I have been wanting this for quite a few years now. With where we live, we can't have anything permanent so when I saw Mulligan's Run barn idea I knew it would be just what I could use for my barn.
I found a great deal on a used carport. 20x20. We had to put it together and fill in some holes, but other than that it worked out to be a great deal. I painted it to get rid of the old stained white. It had alot of black patches from the original caulking done to it.
Today the framing began. We still have alot of work left to do to it. Windows have to be put in for each stall. Doors have to be put on. Back still needs to be enclosed. Stalls need to be built. So much to do!
I just wish it was done already!! More work might be done tomorrow, if not Monday. Ugh..I don't know if I can take an entire weekend to wait.
