CU was there today when I got there, I basically ignored him when he said hi. And once he left, I took a look at what he did. The fence is put up properly-but he used landscaping timbers. I can only hope they work. Plus, as far as I know, he cemented them in place. That means, when they break, it's going to be a real PITA to get them out.
He tied into an old telephone pole. And, rather than hanging a gate there, he just ran the fence all the way to that pole. I have a feeling that RU and I are going to be cutting the fence there and putting in a gate.
Most of the pasture that was lost was RU's. I KNOW she did not want this fence this far back. He went thru the pen where she had a sheep. She was going to put her goats in there as well. It is now too small. I don't know what she's going to do w/it. And, of course, there's no way to access the RP-except by going thru another field. There's also no small gate near the water tank. It's a good thing they didn't need water cuz I don't know how I'd get in there to do it. I don't even know where he put the hose.
But, the worst thing he did was move a building. RU is an artist. She taught art for years B4 retiring. And, she's talked about giving art lessons. Years ago, she had added to this building and put in sky lights. It had electricity and heat. But then she started having all these animals dumped on her, and she's the kind of person who can't say no when asked. Some of them were housed in there. She also used it to house her parrot and guinea pigs in the winter. Recently, she got all of the animals out of there. She was going to pressure wash it and get all of her art supplies in there. I don't know how far she got. He moved it and basically destroyed it. His father, CU Sr, flipped out on him and has told him that he's going to either repair or replace it. And he also told me to NOT let him try to move me in the back. I didn't hear it cuz I wasn't there, but CU Sr was screaming at him yesterday because of everything he's been doing. I'm hoping he's done.
Tomorrow will see me doing a ton of work. I've been dragging, just haven't felt like doing much. But, I need to get back to getting stuff done. I am praying about getting out of here, and I believe that God is going to do something to get me out of there. So, I need to be ready to move when the time is right. So here's my goals for tomorrow.
1. Wash and hang out a load of clothes
2. Feed horses, take care of chickens
3. Work w/Misty in the RP, then ride her. I hope I can get in there w/out much trouble.
4. Finish cleaning my field. The spreader is empty, so now I can finish! Once I have it cleaned again and spread, I'll be figuring out how many days worth of manure fit in it.
5. I have stones that were supposed to go in the run in years ago, they never made it. So I'll be using the tractor to do that tomorrow, spreading them out, then leveling that area the best I can.
6. Lime one section of my field
7. Making something to keep the chickens out of my one nesting box, but giving my broody hen room to get out, eat drink and poop
8. Feed Stormy, bag feed and feed RU's horses
9. Work on cleaning the living room
10. Work in the garden
11. Work in the goat pen
I figure this is enough for tomorrow.
