New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
Hmmm ..... chaps it REALLY is a tractor shed, with maybe the occasional barn dance when the need arises :)
PekkaNF:
Barn daces are fine. As long as no Morris dacers are not allowed into premises!

So yesterday afternoon Darren returned to spread load #13 and start forming the shape of the base. He sculpted the ramp that will be needed to gain access to the scrap of land behind the shed, battered all the edges and hollowed the centre of the site, building up and compacting the edges where the pits will be sunk for the concrete pads for the steel work to sit on.
It's still slightly softer than we want, so later today he's bringing his twin vibrating roller to compact it some more before digging the pits.
SwarfnStuff:
Seems like a real civil engineering joby this 'ere shed.
Still, tractors need homes too. No need for aircon tho, just keep the rain and snow off em. Protection from the elements makes economic sense to me. Rust may be free but replacement of rust affected machines kinda ruins the play money account.

It's pretty clayey - I'll post you a sample for your delight and delectation :)

Hi there, Andrew,
Thank you for the envelope that arrived here in this morning's Post. At least, most of it arrived! Together with most (??) of the contents!
All enclosed in a polythene bag printed with Royal Mail's apologies. :doh: :doh: :doh:
I fear that I shall be unable to conduct a rigorous quantitative analysis as the integrity of the sample has been breached.
:scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:
As soon as I can find a Windows 7 compatible software driver for our microscope camera (or soon thereafter) I'll post some photomicrographs.
(But not hosted on Photobucket!) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
