New Shed

[milkman]

I was reading Tractor Garden Work and he mentioned a new machine shed so I thought I'd post some pics from a couple of weeks ago. My tractor building has gotten full of implements and was also damaged in the storm from the hurricane so I decided to have a place built to drop my attachments and then I will repair the tractor building and have some more room. Since my shoulder is still healing, I found some Mennonite neighbors that would put up the frame and use some used siding that I have laying around. They used my tractor and PHD to drill the holes so they didn't have to move their larger tractor to get the job done. Yes the BX2200 can use a PHD with full size auger and still clear the ground, only hit a couple of roots but they knew how to operate the PHD so it didn't get stuck. I'll just throw up the pics and see what sticks.

Here's a few more. A couple of the boys came over after they got out of school, their dad marked and the older one cut.

The last ones. Waiting for it to dry up around here so I can do some fill and rock, after the shoulder heals.

Looking great.

My acreage is near a Hutterite colony and they regularily come and help me out. I even get the ladies to clean from time to time.

Milkman,

Your timing is impeccable! I just trailered home enough 2x to start my shed - drew a simple plan and it is very close to what you built. Your photos will give great reference to the friends that will help me build. My building will be 10'x20' - anything over 218 sq ft - you need a permit. Yours looks to be 10x24 or 10x30(?).

Essentially I will have two bays for implements plus I am building a shelf that will be approximately 3' off the ground and will come out 4-5' from the back wall. I will back in bush hog on one side and snow blower on the other and stack a few things on the shelves - landscape rack, sand spreader, chipper etc.

Hopefully you will have a speedy recovery.


Many thanks...

Lloyd

Great minds think alike The shed is 12X24 not counting the overhang in front. Over the weekend, my brother suggested the shelf like you mentioned and I like the idea for smaller stuff, could even place stuff there with my bucket forks. Don't forget the pictures.

Milkman,
What a nice project to post.
It sure came out good looking too. The pictures you added were golden!

Wheatland, there are several families here and they are a really great group, except one that is not keeping his livestock in the fences and that's caused a rub with some of his neighbors. The fellow that built my shed had his house totally destroyed by fire during the ice storm. They cleaned up the mess, dug a basement and built the house and was back in the new house in just over 3wks. a lot of people there everyday even in the rain. Impressed a lot of the folks around here to see them all pitch in and get it finished in such a short time.

Nice shed, Is the header supporting the front opening a purchased item?

Thanks, I've never seen one like that around here.
