A Morton Building, 4 horses, and me
Si I have a client that wants a window replaced in their Morton Building. The thing is the window is in the back of th building which is a stable. In this stable there are four massive animals. I can handle the window but I was justwondering. Am I going to scare the horses with the sawzall? This is not a very big area. I dont want to get kicked by a horse today, although it would be one hell of a story.

Should I worry about the horses? the Homeowner said they would be fine with me. I dont know though.

Ask the HO to turn the horses out. They will probably not be bothered, but, just in case!

I'll ask the obvious...can't you take the horses out of the area while you are working?

sugar cubes, head scratchin, and don't get behind em

I imagine the sawzall would set them off.

if they don't have pasture to turn them out, tie them up outside. My neighbor uses a rope and a stake...
