New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
I've been away for a few days, and in my absence Darren has finished off the whole yard, the track down to the field, the bit in front of the containers, and the plant storage yard / area behind the containers - he's done a cracking job :thumbup:
No pictures - it's dark :clap:
He's also removed all his plant (and I suspect a bit of it was responsible for wiping out one of my security cameras - cast mounting bracket sheared off :bang: ) - something else to fix !
So now I'll just have to twiddle my thumbs until the spring for the earth build up behind the Tractor Shed to dry off and settle, so that it's final level and shape can be established before seeding and fencing.

Reprieve... I sense another project coming on... Was starting to suffer awemawson withdrawal...

The weather is improving and things are drying out, which means I could attempt to shift the stock pile of topsoil from the field to round the back of the Tractor Shed. It was still a bit gloopy, but will dry out far faster now it is piled in 14 pyramids round the shed rather than one massive pile in the field. An estimated 28 tons - probably need a bit more by the time that is spread about.
Went pretty well until I reversed the digger into a Willow Tree and flattened it :bang: In all fairness it was on it's last legs anyway after a friends cattle had taken a liking to it back end of last year.
We are holding an 'Open Tea' on Sunday in support of the local Hospice (St Michael's) and we are a bit short of outside seating - now a recent visit to the tip liberated a pair of cast iron Bench Ends, just short of the slats - I was sure that I had a big oak beam I could slice up but it must have been used on other projects, so before I started moving earth I sliced up some scaffold planks and gave them a coat of varnish - not as good as oak but they'll last a couple of years or so.

Aww Andrew you should have told me you were looking for some decent hardwood, I just skipped some huge mahogany window frames this week.
awemawson:
Hardwood in almost any form is always very welcome Pete :thumbup:
