How to Hide Poop

Every once in awhile I will get a project that is not for my houses at all.  And those are often equally as rewarding.  My friends own a horse ranch that rescues abused horses and pairs them with children (Refuge Ranch).  I have volunteered my help out there numerous times, and today was no different.  I was asked to oversee the construction of a wall to hide poop.  Yup, you read that correctly.

The owner of the ranch told me that she didn't like seeing poop when she pulled up the drive, and she didn't like the idea of her volunteers and children and families seeing poop, either.  She wanted it hidden!

Well, fine by me!

The project was pretty simple.  We used a small tractor to dig three large holes to hold railroad ties.  Once those were set, the only chore was to nail up boards straight-and-level!  Too easy!

And last, the volunteers were asked to stain the wood.  Seriously, with so many hands at work, this project was complete in no time at all!  It was amazing to watch that board get stained!

The new wall to hide manure!

The reason for the wall!

A fun little project with a purpose.

A very satisfying day.
