Savannah's Christmas Present a barn

mighty fine barn karson , that great big hug put tears in my eyes big as horse turds ! that beats any paycheck i ever got . i sure wish my grandchildren didnt live so far away . great work karson and happy new year !

This turned out great Karson, looks like her ponies are quite comfortable in there. However, judging by the 3rd pic you got more out this project then Savannah or her ponies. ;-)

Guess who is the favorite Grandpa now!!

A gift you will both remember for a life time. Beautiful job and beautiful family, Karson,

Karson, That hug is one reason why we do what we do. When I was 8 years old my grandfather built a wooden cow barn for me for Christmas. We didn’t have a lot growing up but that barn made me feel like the richest kid in town. I played with that for many years. Wish I still had it but I played with it to death. When the time comes, My grandson who’s 16 mts old will surely be getting one.

Love the stall design. Hope you don’t mind me stealing the idea.

Nice job well done

Hey, Grandpa, I could use a barn. My horsies are out in the cold tonight. That is a really neat gift, Karson. I still have a rocking horse my grandpa built for me when I was 2. Savannah will cherish this forever.

-- Thos. Angle

She played with it all weekend. She put other toys on the floor and the horses had to jump over them in a riding ring.

Anyway that I can help anyong making one let me know.

Wow!!! Nice horse barn. I am guessing Savannah has you firmly wrapped around her finger. This will be something that she will treasure forever.

-- Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

That’s a heck of a lot nicer than my old Fisher-Price barn that moo’d when I opened the barn doors.

That is sweet, I seriously got goose bumps. My Dad made a barn for my brother and I. I have a similar project on my radar for my two boys (5 & 1 yrs). Maybe for Xmas 2009?

Nice job.

Hey buddy;

The picture of you getting a hug says it all.

The work shows you care very much, and I’m sure, even at that young age, she realizes it.

Very nice, and thank you for sharing it with us.
