Finally got started on the 32x40 pole barn. Before you ask, yes I used an excavator to dig the holes. The boulders you see in the pics are just a small sampling of what came out of the ground. An auger would have been useless. Unfortunately, I have prior experience with digging in this area and didn't even attempt to use my 3pt auger. Luckily I own a mini ex and it did the job. My 70 yr old uncle along with my wife and me got it to this point the last 2 days. I have 50 yds of item-4 fill coming and will get it to grade when I get back to the property next week. The plan is to get the barn built, run electric underground (1200 ft) from the pole to the barn, get my travel trailer up on the mountain and eventually build the second (vacation) home. Well, enjoy the pics. I now have another assignment from the wife to put together one of those large swing sets for the grandkids in our backyard.......
