I don't think I could do a full size one in 2 days though, And I don't think we would like the price of walnut post's :D :D

Mr Hoyt might like seeing that given he builds them for a living! (the small ones like that...)

Nice job, Robert!

That looks great Robert. Gotta show that to a co-worker of mine. He builds things like that for his train setup in his back yard.

Thanks guys, I pretty much through it together on the fly :rolleyes:
Wife painted the doors and around the eges of the roof, And I figured out a latch setup for the doors. Added a piece of trim over the stalls right under the front eave. I'm calling it done and delivering it tomorrow.

We have one hay burner and 15 head of cattle. At least the cattle turn a profit :)

I am going to make something similar for my 11 year old, she is the one with the horse. She has quite a collection of ceramic and plastic horses too.

The local farm store has a minature loafing shed for 25 dollars. I took a look at it and thought heck I have enough scraps to make one of those.

They grow up too fast!
