I've been working on our barn which was a bit outdated. I've installed some corner hay racks, done a lot of cleaning and sweeping up of the place. I've also organized everything, I've got the feed, hay, and bedding in the middle of the barn so it is easier to get to and move around.
I've also repaired boards that were getting to be out of shape in the stalls. I've also been debating on installing automatic waterers, but I'm still doing a little bit of research on those to decide if they are worth the investment or not.
Over the summer we are thinking of adding some skylights to the barn to optimize our daylight so that we can cut back on our electricity usage. But I did install some new lighting that helps a lot and is supposed to be more energy efficient. We've also patched any places on the exterior walls that were getting worn and letting in cool air, definitely want to keep it warm in there this time of the year.
