New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
'No Show' by Darren on Friday - I've not chased him as it probably wouldn't help - just hope we see him on Monday :med:
I decided to start moving that huge 100 ton pile of earth from the field to round the back of the shed where it's needed - my kit is a lot smaller than Darren's - I've moved one entire 8 wheeler load, which took 11 of my Thwaites 2 cylinder dumper loads. That approximately equates, as it's a 2 ton dumper and an 8 wheeler load is about 20 tons.
It looks a particularly unimpressive heap in the pictures, and the remaining 'hole' seems flattened by the camera, but in reality they are large 'objects' If the weather holds and I can escape family commitments I'll see if I can 'rinse and repeat' tomorrow (Sunday)
awemawson:
As I'd hoped, I moved another 20 tons this morning. No pictures, not a lot of point, one pile has shrunk and the other grown :lol:
hermetic:
I managed two trailer loads of rubble to the local CA site, and three loads of funiture across town for a mate, Sunday I was "resting" Tomorrow is post hole borer time to put up some outdoor runs for my cousins Kennels, they breed rough collies under the name "Wicani" Then we have all the indoor kennels to make from OSB3 and 3x2 framing, that will be done "when wet" Should keep me out of mischief, and unfortunately, out of the workshop, for a week or two:-( I have decided that the main workshop area floor, (6mx9M) laid in 1974, is beyond redemption, and is coming out to be relaid with new mixconcrete. really not worth patching it up, so when Tony the conc is free I have a job for him! Good progress on the shed Andrew, all is safely covered in!

So at 5 pm today Darren re-emerged from hibernation :lol:
(In fairness he'd been doing urgent repairs to a grain store door)
He started building an earth platform on the side of the shed where the 'Pig Palaces' are in order that he can run his motorised access lift there to fit the heavy galvanised steel guttering, and more easily finish off screwing down the roof sheeting.
Hopefully he returns tomorrow ....... :med:
awemawson:
A very wet night with loads of rain made the platform that Darren formed yesterday a soggy mess :bang:
While things were drying off we put the flood lights up and I've wired them temporarily to a plug and socket as I can't be sure where the final switches can go until the people installing the roller and personnel doors have done their stuff
After that Darren went back up on the roof and did the final screwing down of the corrugated fibre cement roofing sheets
