Oh I can't express how excited I am about the last of the work done to the barn. Originally I didn't think any of it would be finished until the spring, but after trying to find solar decorations online I got frustrated and asked if we could get the electricity in sooner. With my surprise we did the water all in the same day!

So we now have power outlets in the ceiling, and 1 outlet on each side in the middle of the barn by my cross ties. We also have the main box and a outlet in my "tack room area" at the front of the barn. Lights strung from the front and back of the outside that has their own switch inside and lights inside the barn with its own light switch!

Everything is black to match the rest of my hardware. I had to paint the blue power box, but everything else I was able to buy in black. I was so excited to find hanging lights in black! Thank you lowes!

Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, they were all taken with my camera phone.

Right! You all better watch out.. I looove to decorate. I've already started to gather all my christmas decor!

Beautiful!! Just Beautiful!!
It's amazing how we take lights and water for granted, isn't it??
Yes, I couldn't shave the horses without dragging them to the middle of the yard after gathering all my stuff, the extension cords and then I had to shave and hold the horse at the time time. Now I just plug and go. As for water I've had to lug water for 3 years now. Its not so bad in the winter, which i'll still have to do. But in the summer when someone takes care of the horses for me, I have to put out gallons of whater just to make it the weekend. Now there will be a hose and they can just walk and water as they drink. lol

Isn't it the best!! We had our first barn lighting last night. Today I got to muck with the radio on. And now when I have to muck at night I can see and don't cringe at the thought of wondering how bad my mucking was.
