Sad sad thing. Health issues have probably cost me the horse
experience. Even though I wear a huge dual filter particle mask, I
have been suffering severe lung issues. I came out of the barn about a
week ago, and cleared right up.. I will really miss those animals, but
as with most cool stuff, I got to leave it behind and move on to
something else... very sad... nevrer thought I would miss it so much..

------------------------------

I know the feeling. When Mrs.E. had the horses at our house .. . well, in
the barn ... I had to avoid going in it, otherwise my chest would constrict
and I'd start wheezing. We have a small, two car garage attached to the
barn that I was "allowed" to use for my stuff ... cars, motorcycle, etc.,
but I couldn't use it either because the hay dust filtered into it from the
horse area. Even after we moved the horses across town, the dust remained
and I could feel it in my chest after a while in the garage.

I finally completely framed, sheetrocked and sealed the interior of the barn
garage, even using silicon caulking on all joints to seal it up before
plastering. Also put a small system for A/C and heat with oversized
filtering. It worked.

Now she is planning on bringing the horses back.
