• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Another chore for today, get the hay in storage.

Helped a friend do this with this type of bale once, dozens and dozens of the bloomin things, they start to weigh a lot by the time we were finished!
Just curious as to what the bars on the window are designed to stop, do you have Pterodactyl where you are? Lol.
 
The bar looking things are just wall studs I left in place when installing old windows that I found. Should have done a proper header but it's only a barn.:)

Shifting hay bales is damned hard work. My grandfather managed to give himself a pretty serious hernia in his youth on the farm doing just that. Troubled him all his life. Partly due to medical science at that time and partly due to a stubborn dislike of doctors. Still, it had an upside – exempted him from National Service. Although I suspect he was in a reserved occupation too.

I wonder if they do still sell trusses for hernias. Or surgical appliances. Or whatever euphemism you care to employ.
 
Some farms around us have a system where the hay or straw is bailed (small square ) and directly goes onto a trailer , multiple layers high. Then driven to storage and removed one layer at a time and neatly stacked. Very little physical effort.

Maybe I miss understood you Ian, if you are referring to the gable end near the peak, then I have no idea why they are there. Was in place when we moved in, I suspect the previous owner made her husband do it so the pigeons had a place to rest. Usually it is left open to conveyor hay into the loft.
