We are sapost to get 11" - 18" of snow today and tonight in Forsyth Mo. Problem is I am in Atglen Pa. Before we left I showed our daughter how to drive the tractor and she got a big smile on her face. I told her just drive it in and out the drive a few times and don't use the bucket. The drive...

For those of you concerned about my build. I will be driving ground anchors down 3' and cables at each post. To drill a post hole here you have to use a core saw to cut the rock. The power co. has used the same holes drilled 40 years ago because of the rock and cost. There is a building code in...

I only had 3 hours to work today. I got most of the back wall covered. I should be able to finish this tomorrow.

May I ask what your concerns are? We built machinery sheds' in Pa. this way and they are still standing and in use 60 years later. ?

I started the framing for the siding. This is the view from the back looking South. I am hopping to start the tin tomorrow.

Type O 8"

Here is the load of plywood backed in the shed. This is a look at the front of the shed. The first bay will be open front and back so I can pull through with the long trailer. The side walls between the first 3 set's of post will be closed in. The tractor will go in the second bay from the...

No pictures, but we got 8' of the white stuff Thursday -Friday. The VA closed so my wife didn't have to go to work so we both slept in. I was up by 7 and went out to shovel the sidewalk to the wood shop. I decided NOT to plow the driveway until Saturday because we weren't expecting anyone...

Baby IT'S COLD outside. 16* for the high. Needles to say I did not take any pictures today. I did take my wife and daughter to work today. My wife is a VA RN and she has to go in no matter what the weather. I think she only missed 1 day do to bad weather and that was pre tractor and we had...

This was last Monday. Used the tractor to put the roof on the new shead.

This was easer on all of us as they just pulled one up as they were ready to put it down. The last sheet going down. The roof is 26' x 56'. When the weather warms up to 40* I will start putting up the framing for the walls. Our daughter has the equivalent of 20 4x8 sheets of 3/4" plywood...

I had 13 pieces of the long sheets so it went pretty fast. It was rather windy ( 10-15mph) so they were glad to be done with the long sheets. I bought a storage unit with some 50+ sheets of tin just under 10'. The first load I used the same method to lift 10 sheets up to them. The wind got...

We installed the roof on Monday Dec. 30th. Both son's came over and did the hard part. This is my set up for lifting the 26' long sheets of tin. I have an 8' pallet on an IBR tote cage. There are 6 12' 2x6s attached to the pallet. I pulled 3 sheets on the pallet then set it on the IBR tote then...

No pictures today. I was working in the Fog and light rain today. I only have 3 more rafters to put up tomorrow. Then measure up for square so we can install the tin roofing on Monday. Lots of storm straps installed, so much that I had to use icee hot on my right hand because of cramps. I will...

Today I finished installing the rafters for the 4th bay and built the last set of poles for the 5th bay. The rain held off so I raised it up and put in the temporary bracing before it got dark. I was a little chilled when I went in the house. The high today was 51* and damp. Rain in the forecast...

I got a chance to work on my shed last week. I raised the 5th set of post and installed rafters for the roof/bracing. I use a combination of the tractor and the winch to rase the poles.

Well I finally had a day to work on my shed Friday last week. I did do some bracing across the front before pulling the next set of poles up. It only took me about 8 hours to assemble the polls and then get them set in place then 2x4s attached. They still need some tweaking before adding the...

Not on my tractor but for it. We are visiting family in Pa. and my son and I made a short trip to Messicks yesterday. I talked with them about what I need to add 2 sets of hydraulics to my 2501 with a BH77. They gave me a price that I can Live with. Because of the BH I had to get a few extra...

I hadn't thought about anchors. I have about 50 of them in my trapping gear. I don't use them here in Mo. too many rocks. I will look in to them.

Sorry about not staying up to date. It is dear season this week and we are going to Pa for Thanksgiving next week. I only have the 2 sections up sofar. I will be bracing them with 2x6s later this week. At the moment yes gravity is holding them down. I plan on driving fence post beside each...
