New Tractor Shed

<< < (49/74) > >>

Hi there, Andrew,

I'm enjoying this thread.  But then you've never put up an uninteresting thread yet!   :thumbup:   :clap:   :thumbup:   :clap: 

Please forgive me if you've already answered but as it's a tractor shed, shall you insulate beneath the floor slab?   :scratch:   :scratch:   :scratch: 

awemawson:
No Pete it will just be a 6" slab of concrete. This will be an unheated building, just to keep the weather off my various bits of agricultural plant.

I may even get all keen when it's up and dismantle the JCB 803 digger, replace a whole load of bushes and given it a fresh coat of paint - so far I've not had anywhere to safely do it and leave it in bits out of the rain, and this building will let me get at it with the forklift to do all the heavy lifting in relative safety and comfort.

awemawson:
So as promised a few pictures of the rear wall cladding going on. Rather repetitive I'm afraid but at least it's now done  :thumbup:

awemawson:
Having clad the rear wall we were able to get the downspouts fitted, and as rain is forecast overnight we have fitted temporary 90 degree bends and pipe leading away from the building. Eventually there will be roddable traps where the 90 degree bends currently are.

Then we need to add a fair amount of height to bring ground level behind the shed up to meet the concrete floor. To this end I've ordered yet more lorry loads of earth - another four eight wheeler loads  :bugeye:

Pete.:
That drop down to the stream is looking steep enough to warrant a fence now Andrew :thumbup:
