Mountain Gaitway: September 2016
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 19, 2016. The North 20 Fence. After several weeks of really hard work, the north 20 acres are now fenced. We turned the horses out into their new pasture last Thursday and they are loving it. You can see some fall color in the Aspens in several of these pics. Having this much pasture (about 35 acres for the 3 horses) is going to save us a bunch of money on hay. And, it is such a pleasure to see the horses out in the wide open spaces living more like they were created to live.

Mountain Gaitway: December 2015
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 26, 2015. We've begun covering the ceiling with pine from a local sawmill. We like using local and/or "green" products as much as possible, and have found a sawmill where we've ordered all the wood for the interior: ceiling, trim and flooring. We found a tung oil product that uses a natural citrus solvent, and is "zero-VOC", meaning: it smells nice and won't give off dangerous pollutants. ( see Real Milk Paint. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This is the land God has given us to nurture as...

Mountain Gaitway: Two Years Later
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2016/07/two-years-later.html
Sunday, July 24, 2016. This photo, taken this morning, is what the property looks like now, just 2 years after the above banner photo, which was taken just before we bought the property. We have really enjoyed our home and property, and are still amazed that we live HERE! This photo looks south from the same hill I stood on to take the view in the previous photo. We only wish we could see through the hill to see the horses when they're on the other side! Goldie has been a great addition to the household&...

Mountain Gaitway: May 2016
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 17, 2016. The Results Are IN! Goldie's DNA results are in! 50% German Shepherd (to Tim's delight). 125% American Staffordshire Terrier. 125% American Bulldog (but "iffy" on this one, may be a mix). Now that we know, we can see the German Shepherd in her, and also the Boxer (her face and ears). Tim is delighted about the GSD, as he has always loved his German Shepherds. She sure is a cutie!

Mountain Gaitway: March 2016
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 1, 2016. We got our final inspection and received our CO (Certificate of Occupancy)! There is still lots of inside finish work to do, but we will be sleeping in our new Happy House from now on. Here's a pic with our friendly neighborhood Park County Inspector (Kim Hall) handing us our final inspection approval:. We have a functioning bathroom (with a real shower, as opposed to the dribbler in the RV):. We moved the bed in:. And we have a functioning kitchen:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mountain Gaitway: August 2016
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 21, 2016. Big Ducks, Little Ducks. The baby ducks have been moved out to the Duckagon with the big ducks. They are separated from the big ducks for a bit until they get a little bigger. After putting them into the Duckagon, Laurie had to "encourage" them to come out and explore. The big ducks and Goldie were very interested in these new additions. It's amazing how fast they grow! Wednesday, August 3, 2016. Two days old, and pretty darn photogenic! Fawn - Fawn and White Runner.

Mountain Gaitway: January 2016

Sunday, January 24, 2016. All Decked Out - Part II. A while back, I had a post called "All Decked Out". This showed the completion of the deck. However, the railing was not up. So, here's "All Decked Out" - Part II. We had a few days of nice weather, so I moved back outside and put up the railing on the deck. There are code requirements to meet, but we wanted the railing to be as minimally obstructive to our view as possible. We think we succeeded. This is from the inside looking toward the barn:. They a...

Mountain Gaitway: April 2016
http://mountaingaitway.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2016. All That Glitters . Is Goldie! For a while, we've been wanting to fill out our menagerie with a dog. I (Tim) have always had dogs around, while Laurie's family was a cat family. We've been watching Craig's List as well as checking out animal shelters. Laurie spotted a 7 month old puppy at the Humane Society that peaked our interest. We went to see her and it was a perfect match! We were told that she is a German Shepherd/Lab mix. However, we're not convinced of that. We'...She h...
