Daylight savings time end means it gets really dark at 5:30pm and I, not being able to see in the dark need lights in order to feed my horses. The southside of barn where we've added the new fencing is now the feeding area directly out of the feed room.
We added a new light on one end of the barn to light up this area and also to continue lighting in the direction of our run in shed where there are hay bags for an addtional feeding location.
Also right by the feed room there is a new light shining down towards the door. My interior lights work great and the new location for the switches work perfectly.
Steve still has to work on the south side of the barn where the stalls are to rewire the lights for the stalls which are switched on via the tack room. Then there is a new location on the outside of the barn for a switch that will turn on the aisle lights and barn yard light. Our barn will be well lit for any needed illumination! I could even work one of the horses at night if I need to!
And as you can see the barn is getting painted. Steve's dad worked on the southside of the barn while we were on vacation in Australia. We had to buy more paint so the next two days with the warmer temperatures means I'll be out there adding a second coat and starting on unpainted sections. I'm loving how it's looking so far. The sunset lighting in the above pictures sure makes it glow! LOL

Isn't it amazing how *dark* it can be in the countryside? On moonless nights here, if I walk out past the shop down the driveway, we always say it's darker than the inside of a cow!
Your barn is looking great, & the new bog header is FABULOUS!!
Awe thanks Mrs Shoes!! Been meaning to update the blog heading for a while now!
