Bring on the Rain!!! (...or "Look What I Got Today!")

Almost every time it rains, I loose some hay. Either bottom hay gets muddy and molds or top hay gets rained on and molds. So today, I got this cargo container delivered! I'm so excited...water and rodent proof and holds 100 bales of hay!! Yipee!

Yeah, I know it's ugly, but boy, is it functional! (Plus it's a nice little wind breaker for Jack!)

Highly recommend it, and I don't know why I didn't think about it sooner - could have saved a lot of money on moldy hay and rotting chicken scratch.

This one was delivered by Allied Containers in San Diego, who were really great to work with. (I do not recommend Aztec Containers, whom I initially dealt with, but they never return calls, never followed up on promised information, and when ever I talked with them, they didn't have a clue that we'd ever spoken before!! After two weeks of this run around, I switched and got immediate service from Allied Containers.)

Drop off and pick-up is $95 each way and you must pay this fee up front, plus one month's rent which is $65/month. So total today, with taxes, was $260.

Now all I have to obsess about when it rains is the horses standing in mud!
