THE REST OF THE STORY: Terri

Tobias and I built our first shedrow together nearly twenty years ago. That little barn was basically many nails held together by a few boards. Us being merely beautiful and not rich, we dumpster dove and glommed from our friends until we had enough to put a roof over our magnificent mares. We've put in a lot of trail miles between us since then. In the ensuing years, my life-style - my horse life - has evolved and changed and grown and changed again. I mentioned earlier that to cut costs we are re-building a free shed. A few things that you should all know: Firstly - never ever spend two or three grand on one of these portable buildings. They are held together by staples mostly, and come apart very easily. Especially when your spouse says, "hold this and don't move" and then you become distracted. Next, as you dismantle what is left, mark every piece that you take off in some sort of order. That way when you begin to put it back together you can have wonderfully intense discussions about which is your right and which is your left and is THIS number six piece or is this number nine? And finally, remember that with any good project you will always have pieces left over. Tra.
