Moving Junk Around the Yard

[WVH1977]

Good Day All,

Am I the only one that is always moving his crap around the property constantly? I just moved a bunch of telephone poles for the 3rd time in 3 months. I am also always moving my tractor attachments around and still have to move attachments out the way to get to what I want.. I have moved pallets of block and brick around a bunch as well. Also always looking for a better place to put my trailers.

I am going to be building a wood shed soon and another shed closer to the house for lawnmower and such. Still cannot make final decisions on that. I know once I build it, I will wish I had put it somewhere else. I am so wishy washy. LOL

I am on 16 acres. You would think I would have plenty of room to put things where they need to be. Maybe one day I will get it all straight?

I’ve been here 20 years and am not there yet. It seems like every time that I try to do something life gets in the way.

You’re not the only one. I had a 12x24 portable building delivered, then called them back two years later to move it to another location, which they did for $150.

I’ve also chosen an area to be a brush pile or a wood pile and then realized, “nope, that’s too close to the house or too far.”

You obviously don't have enough land.

every time I find a home for something I have to move it. Right now it is pigs. My wife decided we needed a pair of Hereford pigs this winter so I built a stall in the barn for them knowing they would have to be separated by May. well now I have to build another stall, actually take one of the goat stalls and redo it a bit. I do this knowing I will have to move them when I get an outdoor pen for them. Everything gets moved three times a year it seams. I want to scream sometimes.

The more "junk" you have less times you'll move it"

I have a 40x70 "shop" building now. It's (mostly) all in there, but I still have to shuffle it around a couple times a year (winter/summer-snow stuff/yard-mowing stuff). I don't think there's a way around it. Even if you moved into an apartment in town (shoot me first), you'd still have "stuff".

Palletizing as much as I can and getting forks for the tractor FEL has gone a long ways to helping the process of shuffling it around. But shuffling still occurs.

I finally bought some pallet forks last year and that was a good purchase. Now moving all the junk around is not as bad as it used to be.

Started cleaning out my "pilot project" this weekend. That is where I pile it, with the thought I might need it some day. Gonna take several more trips.

Always moving things around so I can cut the grass to minimise snakes, SWMBO always comes home with more crap that we must have that I have to move and daughters have taken over my workshop with horse feed, I want a 20' container just to put least used things and horse food but SWMBO doesn't think it's a good idea even though I can't do anything.

WVH1977 - keep the faith. I've been out here 40+ years now. After about twenty years - everything seems to have found an appropriate place.

 

[ponytug]

Yes, SWMBO has a thing about clutter, but doesn't want to pay to hire out the work, and then grumbles when there is a piece of equipment hanging around for the next project (having paid for itself several times over on prior projects). It extends to the house with threatened purges of "Knick-knacks", to which I say, "sure, which ones? Those?", "Oh, no, those are heirlooms"...

I smile privately and keep going.

Why not buy one of those nifty Aussie metal sheds for you, since you have been displaced by the horse feed? (Always nice to know where one ranks on the family hierarchy, just below chaff...) Somebody posted a gorgeous build here not that long ago.

Rumpole rocks.

All the best,

Peter

Sounds like a great philosophy to me!

I once heard a place with a lot of junk referred to as "Alaskan in training."

I call them a shopping mall....wish I had one.

 

[kenmbz]

Seems like the seasonal shuffle here.
Move tractor to get to lawn tractor.
Move 3pt implements on off. Plenty of tarps.
Different projects in different buildings.
Some stuff is part outdoors, part indoors.

Do they sell mapping software for this

True statement. The Wife has begun to mellow me. At least most of my "Gems" are out of sight now.
