Excuse me, I'd just like to brag a tiny bit...

That was a pretty big job to do by yourself, you deserve a pat on the back. Bucking hay is hard work even for young folk. I remember hauling hay in high school for .10 cents a bale, that was for loading in field and unloading in barn. I sure am glad I dont have to buck hay any more.

We never had bales ~ we had stacks ~ and hay rides ~ hang a lantern on the wagon and travel around ~ sisters and cousins and friends played on the hay stack in back of the Eucalyptus grove ~ everyone had to re stack the hay ~ in all the stack ~ they were tall ~ took a lot of gut to slide down one ~ till the stack got pulled down a bit ```

Thistle it is nice to see all your out buildings painted the same color.

Which trailer?
The big one by the road got loaded by tractor on the farm, then got unloaded, reloaded and stacked in the shelter by my husband and me. The final two rows were unloaded, loaded, and stacked by me.

Are you saying your from Texas ~ that make quite a difference ```

Heck no.

I think you're short a few bales.

Haha! Yes, half a bale shy of a ton!

$.10/bale? Dang, born too early. Started at $.25/hour. When I quit, 4 years later I was up to $1.25. Would have killed for $.10.....

I love the cattel panel arch. Glad that it exceeded your expectations in how much it can store.

Now I want a cattel panel but not for my hay but for somewhere in my garden. But alas, there is only so much I can put in this garden.

I can't believe how underpaid I am!
Dh will be pleased to find out he earned $6.80 from this batch and $7.20 from the first batch. He'll have to put it on my tab, after buying hay I'm broke!
