New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
Yesterday I lost Darren to haymaking - with imminent thunderstorms the hay had to be made !
However today he came equipped with even more toys - his Bobcat telehandler , and the grab for his 6 ton digger. The first job was to recover the trailer from the corner that it had been tucked into on day one - it was rather jammed in
awemawson:
Then we could start clearing all the brush and trees that had overground a triangle of land that was bigger than the garden in my first house :ddb:
In the end three trailer loads were pulled out and stacked up in the field awaiting a bonfire at some time in the future
awemawson:
The next task was to scrape off the surface of the built up subsoil to the correct height to allow for 300 mm of hard core. The material removed was used to build up the stream bank behind the shed. This will need considerably more filling in days to come.
awemawson:
Then at last we could start bringing in the hardcore from the pile in the field.
I fear that I will have to start buying in more hard core :bugeye: So far it's all been FOC. I do have two small loads coming in tomorrow but we'll need much more than that.
Also tomorrow comes the rest of the structure of the Tractor Shed, all on a lorry, but no idea at what time - so today I've cleared the yard of all that can be cleared so we can unload and stack it all
awemawson:
Again, to free up space, Darren took his Fent Tractor and two trailers home - this involved some fancy loading using the Bobcat Telehandler - an impressive display of his skills
