it is a 40ft mobile home frame. where it pumps out are going to benches. it is about 70" wide and 84" high,works great for the RTV and BX , i have had the B2620 across it, i put gates up for the heavy stuff. im by no mean a carpenter just a old jack of all trades and master of none kinda of guy.

sorry every one, got working on the queens to do book (list) and before i knew it 2 weeks has past.


thank you for the kind words,
the wife and i sheeted it in over the week-end and got it dried in with some syn-felt, she wanted a green 30yr shingle roof,
the dozer, they was straightening a ditch across the property and he went over the ledge that he had fill. the next dozer got stuck trying to pull the first one out then they brought a big track-hoe out, and it was all it could handle getting them both out, it turn out great for me, i got 3 peaces of equipment and 2 operators for the cost of one. here is a pic of the creek/ditch. about where he got stuck and the other. aslo the first 2 pic on my firat post is a before and after of my back yard.
