Well, I had done a whole write up about how well DH is doing, and then explained what these photos are all about. I came into the post to make two small changes, and POOF the first part of it is GONE!!! GRRRRR!!!
I don’t have a clue what happened! I’m too exhausted to recreate it right now. I’ll try to do that later.
Suffice it to say, that our old round bale finally ran out, and I needed to move the new round bale off our trailer, so I could start using that hay. Needless to say, that I wouldn’t be able to roll it once I opened it and started getting hay off it. DH couldn’t help me, due to his quadruple bypass one month ago. So, I wore myself out moving an 1100 pound bale of hay, all by myself, and here are a few photos, to show you what I did.
Success at last!
After that was done, I got a ladder and cut the netting across the top, so I could start pulling hay off the bale. In the end, I filled FIVE - 5 bushel baskets PLUS two 60 gallon tubs, with hay. That should last me about a week, before I have to go back and get more off that big bale.
My next project is to build an 8x8’ hoop hut (using 2 cattle panel over the round bale, and for now use a tarp, to cover the hay, and keep rain off it.
Eventually, AFTER DH is released to do a normal work load — after at least six months — I want to build a lean-to style car port, attached to our 12x16’ workshop. That carport will be 24’x 20, which will allow us to put the truck under cover, if we have a hail storm, and we can also store at least two round bales in the end — which will have a hinged wall, to keep the rain off the hay, and then we can get at the hay from the back side.
NEVER under estimate the power of a woman
