I still need to go in there and scrape/clear all that vegetation off, but I thought I better get busy with grading the barn pad next. Since I was responsible for building it up and getting it all level, I new there would tons of dirt to move and compact.
I started down by the solar shed first. I had used the backhoe to excavate near one end of it. Then used the
fel bucket to move dirt out of there to the barn pad.
There was a pretty good size ledge there before and I wanted to
cut it down to a more gradual slope as well
cut another service road in there so a truck can get down to the shed and propane tank. The road will be on the left of where the tractor is in this picture below. Also, where you see the green grass in the left corner, that will be the end of the barn pad nearest the shed. That part has to be built up about 4 or 5 feet from where it is now, and slope to the left. The service road will be in between. The barn will end up about 200' from the house, with the solar shed in between them.
