New Tractor & Implement shed

[Dave5264]

Thanks guys, Footing is down about 4- 5', we have to go down at least 4' due to frost. I also used a scissor truss for extra height.

First pic is excavating by, what was, the old Bank side of the old barn so its deeper than 5' before we took the rest of the bank away

we have a lot of clay here too, which is a problem for frost heaving, so we brought in 60 dump truck loads of sand and gravel to back fill







Crane lifting the scissor trusses,

Thanks Very Much, im very pleased with it, we were sorry to lose the big old 1800's bank barn but it was just too expensive to fix the foundation

I really like the fancy truss on the porch.

Thanks, we tried to get some consistency between the house and the other barn buildings...
