I have a project planned for warm weather, I'm going to build one of the pallet, panel and tarp shelters for hay storage, so I can have back the barn stall for a horse, poor Sophia has been stuck outside for hard feeds, as the 4th stall is storing hay.
If you don't know what they look like, check out this link:  http://www.ourfathersgift.com/2018/01/movable-cattle-panel-shelter/
And, it's going to be located between my mare barn and feed building.  I only have a snowy picture of the location (old picture, but it looks about like that now too).

I got started on my pallet/panel hay shelter today.  Got the pallet walls almost completed (no picture); the t-posts are in, the pallets added and bolted together, just need to wire the pallets to the posts, so they don't move around (and wind won't try to lift them once the panel roof is in place.   I still need to buy a tarp for the roof, not much in town available, so need to look on-line or if I get to the other close town, try the hardware store there.

Goodness, I hope that means your weather is getting better for you.

It was about 84 degrees here today, although it was pouring down torrential rain -- about 5" yesterday, and probably something similar today.  Tomorrow has only a 20% chance of rain, so that's nice, but it's supposed to be 89 degrees and in the high 80's all week.  You know how I hate the heat -- thank God for A/C.

About average weather for early May, mid-40s into the 50s, a sprinkle of rain today.  Not sure how cold it's getting overnight, as I haven't looked at the thermometer in the evenings lately.

Also got the mare barn mostly cleaned out of winter yuk; just the lean-to portion left to do.  Still have two more barns to do, but I'll get to them all eventually.

Sounds like you have an ambitious plan and I wish you good weather and all the best!

Project number 1 done, well almost, there is a little bit yet to finish up, like a couple more pallets for the floor to set bales on.

And, I got a "new" gate installed at the top end of the saddle horses' pasture; previously just opened up a section of fence, now it has a gate (reused one from somewhere else).

Looks good!
