Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[jinman]

Previous rains have gone around us so, we got lucky this time. Glad to have it and never turn down rain of any amount./

Our soil is very sandy so, 1/2" every Wednesday would be ideal.

I have lots of clay and caliche. I'm hoping for only 1/4" every week. But, Im not trying to start a bidding war. I hope you get your 1/2" too.

That's a great start, but when it is finished, you're gonna need a tractor to put inside it.

Got one!

 

[Jisgren]

And it fits!

It's good to have the tractor to fit before you have the building. I had to make my front top windows swing/hinge up to fit the ROPS/sunshade. In 10 years I've only had to replace the windows once.:ashamed:
What type of door are you installing, swing, slide up, or side side?

Officially too small already. It is only 16x32 with 12' shed roof on both sides. Eventually it will be the saw mill shed when I put the larger barn in. Got the plans from Barnplans [Blueprints, Gambrel Roof, Barns, Homes, Garage Workshops, Dormer Window, Cupola]. This is actually a trial run for a 24'x48' barn style cabin.

Looks like a tractor pergola right now!

A door at each end and a good power washer and you have a **** of a "drive through" Would take anything to double the width, even with a few support poles left in place.

Whipper was barking and barking and barking so I got up to check it out. There was a copperhead on the drive ready to strike. When she saw me she grabbed the snake, shook her head violently and broke the snake in half. So why couldn't she have done that 15 minutes ago. . . . back to sleep. . . .

Just swing doors. It is a 10' opening and I will just split it.
