New Tractor Shed
Pete W.:
Hi there, again, Andrew,
I've re-read my previous post and realised that it's too much about damage in the Post and not enough about 'thank you'. As I wrote in an earlier post, it's very kind of you to make time among all your projects and caring for your livestock and guests (not necessarily in that order!) to gather, pack and post the sample to indulge one of my hobby interests. So, thank you very much.
:mmr: :mmr: :mmr:
(Currently typing with difficulty and excluded from the workshop! While tidying the workshop on Tuesday, heaving boxes of come_in_handium hither and yon, I've damaged my wrist. The Minor Injuries Unit guy diagnosed tendonitis and gave me a wrist brace to wear. My lovely but shy assistant has refused to feed me my breakfast muesli or to cut up my dinner!!! On the plus side, I did find the ½" BSP tap which was the target of the tidy.)

Pete, glad most of it arrived and I wish you well with your injuries - mend soon :thumbup:
Talking of mending, Darren wasn't able to come as planned as his vibrating twin roller ceased vibrating on one drum - internal drive shaft sheared off that joined the hydraulic motor and the eccentric weight. However a bit of fetling and he came today .
The idea is to compact the periphery where the pits will be sunk for the concrete pads, but actually he went over the whole thing, and it has certainly made a difference.
Then he went round putting up the 'profiles' to give the building outline in string lines, to mark the centre of each vertical beam. As there is the possibility of rain in the next day or so, and as the concrete is ordered for noon on Tuesday, he's going to return on Monday and dig the pits then, so that they are not left open too long.
Concrete coming from a firm called Woolycrete, which is appropriate as we had an unexpected lamb born last night by one of the Jacobs Tegs who shouldn't be breeding until next year - so I suppose that Harold the Ram is going to be done for child molesting :clap:
What wasn't unexpected was that five bull calves arrived - a friend is short of grass and we have too much so here they are. This is the first time that there have been cattle here for probably twenty years :thumbup:
AdeV:
Nice to see your small workshop tractor shed progressing :) I thought you were going for a big building? :lol:
Speaking of animals, you do at least have the perfect surname for a farmer: Oooh arrrrr Farrrrrmer Maaawson. :thumbup: :beer:

Andrew,
I'm curious about what class of deadweight roller you would need to give the same effect as the vibratory?
awemawson:
Well the deadweight of that roller is about 3 tonnes but I reckon you can treble or even quadruple that for a vibrating roller
