Tack Room and Clothes Line

With the heat and rain of the past weeks we have not been working too hard around the house.  We did, however, start working on the tack room walls a little in the mornings.  First Matthew covered the outside of the tack room with drywall so that we could insulate the walls.

 

Then we measured out the sanded boards from the pallets to fit between the studs.

 

Not all of the pallet wood is usable but this is how far we got with three pallets. It may not be the quickest way to cover walls but it is inexpensive, helps reuse wood, and looks pretty nice (in a rustic way)!

 

We  also installed a small improvement around the house to help save some money and energy.  I bought a retractable clothesline and we put it up around the carport.

 

The line goes along the front and side of the truck and fits about one load of laundry.  The fact that it is in the shade should help keep the clothes from fading too much and the added cover might come in handy during a pop up rain shower!
