Pretty tractor, pretty cutter..."pretty" won't last too long...not if you use 'em!
But they gain "character" with usage.

Very nice. I'm sure you'll enjoy both the tractor and the barn.

Very nice setup! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Do you plan on building shelves, cabinets, and a workbench? ...it's always something more. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Well, I don't live where the barn/tractor live, so we chip away at the projects.
Tractor work will be mowing and some minor earth moving to even out some of the land. I may have to disk some of it, box blade and then roll it. It's all new to me so I guess it'll be trial and error. I have a very friendly neighbor who will let me use some of his implements. I may even install the culvert when the time comes.
I had not seen the barn finished until the day I took delivery of the tractor (11-07). The barn already has shutters (fake), mini blinds, fire extinguisher, clock, card table, 3 chairs and a bunch of "spare" garden tools from the house. We plan on a 12 foot plywood workbench along the side opposite the tractor. We'll build buy other storage as needed.
I've owned this plot of land (5 acres) since March. I'm as excited about the barn as I am about the tractor. The barn gives me a feeling of "permanence".
I bought another 5 acre plot around the corner. We'll clear some dead trees and keep the pasture mowed down over their. But don't plan on doing anything else other than increasing it's "curb appeal".

Here's a better look at the inside. The saw cuts are equidistant (12x12). The left side of the tractor is close to the center of the building. But there's about 5-6 feet between the tractor and the far wall. There is A LOT of room. My father in law said it's about the same size as the house my wife was raised in (26x26). But that house had a loft.
I had trouble decideing what to call it. Barn, shed, garage, shop? I'm calling it a barn. It's too expensive to call a shed and it's not made by "rubbermaid". I already have a garage. I'm not handy enough to call it a shop. So it's a barn. Anyone who says "shed" is immediately corrected! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
