Powers Tools & Big Project Interrupted By Prison Escapee On Loose

[@sherrytackett571]

You should put your hair back when using power tools sweet Jami. Just an old granny here doing what granny’s do. Safety always please. Love and prayers.

[@mommabear3979]

Isn’t it crazy how many of us are old enough to be Jami’s mom/grandma and LOVE her as if she were our own daughter/granddaughter!!! It warms my heart to see so much love poured into her life and soul!!! I truly believe Jami Cakes has been brought to so many of us in our ending years to remind us that there is still lovely humans on this planet bc our last years can be the hardest for so many of us that no longer have family members so we loss contact and then it becomes unbearable once we are either home bound or bed ridden! I am so thankful for our precious Jami who has brought sunshine back to my soul 🥰 and I am so thankful for people like you Sherry who share their love n joy n memories along her beautiful journey! Much Love n Peace to you sweet Sherry 🥰

[@edierice5233]

Agreed! I learned the hard way!!

When I first read the title... I had a moment of true terror! Then I saw Polly in the driveway and thought aha... there is the escapee. I breathed a sigh of relief for your safety!!! GUTTERS.. you need gutters and down pipes, 'cause I remember the rain last winter with you in there with the horses and it was a flood on the North side.

[@FromSuitstoBoots]

We have gutters already - that happened a month ago

[@theresauhlenhake3822]

It’s looking really good Jami. That should make the horses so much more comfortable this winter. Thank you LEM Jr and LC for helping with this project 🧡The horses will love it🧡

[@bettyling869]

I love your ideas for the horse barn. The horses are your project, so you should do what you feel will make them more comfortable and easier for you to work with. Pollyanna is setting herself up for trouble. If she won't stay in the fence at night, she will be easy prey for coyotes.

[@Tlyna1952]

I was just thinking of that.

[@chi4ever982]

Almost everyone has moved to shavings, but I remember how the horses just loved freshly changed straw bedding in their stalls. They would lay down and usually just sacked out on their sides for a great sleep. In the winter they would fluff it up and snuggle down with it pulled up around them for warmth. Love the barn plans! Have fun.

[@joannepantale483]

Right? I always used straw for my horses, too.

[@MaryLucas-qe1dy]

Good Cloudy Morning Pennsylvania. Lol Lester is as bad as Pawpaw with Ivan ,egging Pollyanna on .Oh she can't find me 😂😂😂.Yes Jami he is all yours 🤣 😉 Have a Weekend Everyone ❤.

So happy you have a place for you now Jami...beautiful start to the barn upgrade

[@jopeoples378]

Hi to hello everybody ❤🙏 from Tennessee. The horses will like the barn update,Great job!PollyAnn is a little dog goat.

[@anitak_ilovepink]

After the time during a hard rainstorm and the horses were standing in water, I was hoping the barn would be fixed to stop that for the future. The Sanctuary has amazing stalls and this is on the way to being that cool. I am so happy to see this. How weird one can get excited for changes for someone else's animals. LOL

[@Peggy-o4c]

A roll up garage door would have been great in the hay section for easier hay delivery. Looks very nice. Good job.

[@morganalori]

Pollyanna was so proud "I found daddy!!! Oh! Mommy's here too!! Happy days" lol Great job on winterizing the barn. Sounds like some great plans. You're going to want a nice sized shed, so you can store all the tack there too. Saddles take up a lot of space. and you can have lovely shelves so things are nicely sorted/organizes. make sure a workspace/workbench for easy comfort doing whatever you need to do in your tack room.

[@dianafredette9469]

That looks amazing Jami! Love that you're getting a horse barn finally for you.

[@judymerriam2715]

The barn is looking good and will keep the horses warmer through the winter. It might also help keep the water from getting in if you have flooding again. I love how you and Lester always put the animals well being first above anything else.

[@carolynkosin6256]

Hi to hello Jamie and Lester, so nice for ghd horses, a furred snuggle up place with winter. Oats on, they will be so blessed, Thank you Lester for helping Jamie, It’s fun learning to use tools, my late husband taught me how to use them, now he’s gone and I feel confident in using them, always wear safety glasses if attleast glasses, those horses are so Luckey, I hope to see you riding all of them. You take better care of them than I take care if my car, 😂😅🤣, iv got to do better. I also love being creative like U Jamie, I’d like more if the green house from you please it’s such a relaxing and beautiful place to be. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤sending love your way you, Lester little dooon, and that baby goat that lives him so much, that baby is saying, you can’t leave me behind. I’m your baby 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@BiterAvid]

💚💚💙💙💚💚 Little PollyAnna is putting Starla to shame. PollyAnna is the top escape artist to date, and she is only going to get better. She just wants to be with you, follow you around, and stop here and there to nibble and chomp on EVERYthing.

[@morganalori]

how is she going to know if it is yummy unless she nibbles and noms all the things? She might miss out. Pollyanna is such a cute little stinker

Jami, don't forget room for extra horses! Once they see how well you are taking care of the horses you have rescued, they may ask you to take mire in!

[@yvonneforche2126]

They don't have enough pasture and grass (possible issues) to have extra horses. I know it would be fun 😊😊😊😊

Good Morning Jami, Your idea is looking good❣️ It's great to see You smile when Your project is completed.

[@joannepantale483]

I love what your planning there for the barn. Def have to go up with lumber 4 ft. all the way around. You could even put sliding doors on the open end to keep out rain, wind & cold. You've got a good start, Jami. TFS ❤️~ Jo

[@gingerschatshow]

Hi Jamie- good idea- When Dad built our horse barn, we had it set up going East/west instead of North and South- Our storms comes in from the South West and Colder winds come down from the North (once in a while)- Would suggest getting more lighting, so at night you can do things easily. :D Also suggest getting cross ties. :D

Famous words. “We are not going to spoil our Pollyanna and Sawyer. We will not have another Starla or Finn.” 😂😂😂. Goody I get to use my favorite saying. “The best laid plans of mice and man often go awry” The horses are going to love the new improvement. Moving the hay on the other side would make it easier to put hay in barn. Be safe ❤😊❤

[@TracyH007]

Hi Jami. The barn looks good. In regard to getting more natural light, they sell (light panels)clearish panels that match the metal panels that allow natural light in. You could install clear panels on the top row in place of the metal. Just mentioning this as an option for your consideration.

[@pattdunn9845]

Also, on the roof to allow light in.

[@Cat.Lovey77]

Looks great Jami n Lester. ❤💖 I put out fresh straw in all the stalls today in NW Cali as it'll be the first hard frost, at or below 32-F for the year. My mares filly has still got a thinner coat as do the other horses cuz it's only been in the upper 50's to 60's at night. With a week plus of cold rains and temps coming... it is needed. I'm not in southern Cali, so it can get cold here much like you, about 10-15 times over a winter. The cement flooring has these coils in it that are warmed, with horse mats on top, plus straw to keep their feet warm during cold snaps and it keeps the stables around 60-F. That cold air from the Northern Pacific Ocean is laden with moisture as the rains arrive to quench the Redwoods thirst. The Therapy horse arena is heated so if necessary the horses can be put up there for extreme cold, it's rare though, but... it's a backup option when needed. Blankets are ready, hay moved around, restocked stable grains etc and I think we are ready... until we get into winter mode. I know you are prepared. Busiest week I've had since last Feb-2024. I can't wait to see your completed project Jami ❤💖❤

Awesome Job, Jami, Little Chris and Lester.

[@cynthiafitton2951]

That looks great. The horses will like it too on rain days.

[@brendawilliams2611]

That looks wonderful! I remember how much rain came into the barn from that north hill. I’m hoping you eventually put in a french drain on the outside edge to keep the water from getting under the metal and boards. Little Chris is a very good helper. Quite the young man. As for Pollyanna…. Maybe a harness and a spoon to keep her inside the paddock?? I remember when Lester did that for Shirley.

[@lolojavi5321]

Hi Jamie, I love your idea for the barn. Enclosing the one side is great. It will be more like a barn when you’re done. If Lester is afraid the horses will feel they don’t know where to go, just train them. Walk them in with their lead into the stall so they will know where to go. You can even have them get use to which stall is theirs. I just love it and so will they. I can’t wait to see it when it’s done ❤

I’m glad you are mindful that the horses need a second way out. I’m always fearful of fire. I’ve never had an incident with fire but am always fearful. I won’t even burn candles in my house. I love the way you take care of your horses and all the animals.

[@lindamaskus5142]

Our barn caught fire in 1980. My first terrified thought was the horses......I went running out and thank goodness they were in the back pasture behind it. I was terrified for a few minutes, not knowing my hubby had left them out that night. Praise God he did!

[@fionadarby3401]

Jami looks good another idea for inside of barn stalls instead of using timber you can put rubber matting on the walls great for horses they can't hurt themselves . A storage container would make a great tak room for all your stuff. Enjoy the enclosed barn wall

[@pattdunn9845]

Jami, on the outside storage area. Could you put a thick concrete pad? That may direct your water runoff away from the drive . I would make it a tall building. That way, you can store horse blankets in totes above your head.[ You don't use them that much] and then saddles. Leaving your lower shelves for tack and meds and on the doors put in a shoe divider like a pocket organizer for brushes and picks and lead ropes.Maybe a refrigerator for meds. [ though it may be too hot for your compressor in an enclosed shed in direct sun.]

[@smilinpoodlelady6331]

Jami, you have the right idea. A shed on blocks would work great for your tack/medicine room!

[@cynthiabakos5184]

I had the same thought concerning another exit for emergencies especially with the hay right next to the door. The horses will be nice and warm when the winter winds blow in.

[@carolhankinsHankins2.0]

@@cynthiabakos5184 Was the first thought that came to my mind too and I also agree that they will be much warmer during the Winter months.

[@CarolGernand]

I like the barn ideas to give the horses a warmer place in the winter. I am also proud that Lester agreed to such a thing. Now I grew up in South Dakota so our barns were huge closed in buildings. haha I was thinking that if you had a barn like this for all the littles to go into come night...that would surely keep the predators from getting them BUT I do know in the normal Texas heat, it would require an air conditioned barn in order for them to be closed in like that. I loved this video. 🥰

Good Friday morning Jami Lester Little Chris and fur babies. I'm relieved the barn is being enclosed for wind protection. Lester said your idea doesn't give the horses an extra out for opposite side but as I recall the Plum Grove barn stalls don't have an out on the opposite side. For some reason to be easier essessible to change the hay to have roll ups and also on hot summer days for ventilation. Lester has lost control with his feelings for these baby goats 😅. Have a fantastic day 😎 ❤❤
