Building a Stall Door

Mom, the rough carpenter, assembles tools and measures for cuts.

Apprentice JayaMae, uses a circular saw for the first time.

Brush off the sawdust before we apply wood glue!

Squeeze that bottle and apply to both sides to make a plywood sandwich.

Clamp it down until it dries.

Add cedar boards to make it strong. JayaMae uses another power tool.

Meanwhile, Jaya's son, Declan, gathers the wood scraps into a wagon.

Sun's out! Let's stain it to protect from wet weather.

Jaya's husband, Gary, got drafted to help hang the door.

The finished door, complete with clasp. No horses in the hay stall now!

They closed the all you can eat buffet where I live too. Don't worry. It will inspire your creativity.

Hi, Winnie and friends. Too bad about the new door on the food closet. We agree with Show Time, you'll have to get creative. Maybe when you see the door open one of you can create a distraction, like maybe rolling in the mud, while the other sneaks in and drags out a bale of hay. Good luck! Your friends, Missile Launch and Rein Dance
