I downloaded directions for assembly and Brett got to work on it while I was at work on Thursday. I asked him to take some pictures as he went along.
He even took a self portrait:
...except that the last two corners didn't line up. Frustrated and tired, we quit for the night. The donkeys and horses were watching intently. Of course, that could have been about dinner being late too.
The next day Brett made some minor adjustments and everything lined up.
It was really sweet of Brett to put the dressage court together for me. Especially since what he really wanted was a garage for his car and the truck. And, while I am very excited to have a real life competition size dressage court... I am also feeling more than a bit guilty about this purchase.
It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh my - do NOT FEEL GUILTY - thats wonderful! Im going to bring my little mustang right over ;P I am envious!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot jealous, no!
ReplyDeleteENJOY!!
It looks great! We put one on our property too and it was a nightmare to get the whole thing squared up and straight. Of course, since it's on a flat spot on a grassy hill in one of the pastures the herd uses it for a playpen and occasionally knock the pieces down. It's always fun to reset it. Enjoy your new arena.
ReplyDeleteLove that Brett keeps his sense of humor even when working so hard. I am anxious to see you use this.
ReplyDeleteNot jealous either... really! ;D
