It did not seem to be quite as hot today, praise the Lord, which added to my excitement about bringing my little project to a close.

So, this morning I cut pieces out of some angle iron

in order to be able to bend it into a couple of braces.

Then I put the braces between the floor of the stall and the outside wall so that I could fill in the gap with a piece of decking.

As usual, I had plenty of help.

Then I framed around the top and sides of the opening with 2×4’s. Later I will put trim around the outside.

After putting three bags of bedding on the floor of the stall, it is FINALLY

move-in ready.
