Some improvements around the kingdom

[jon f mn]

Finally got to where I could update some things around the farm. Started by buying a new stuff getter. Been looking for one for a while and Found this 2019 F350 out in Salt Lake City. Bonnie and i went on a trip to Vegas over new year and so we just changed our home flight to Salt lake and drove it home. Its just about the exact truck I wanted, only thing I would have preferred is cloth seats.

It's a 2019 but only had 6500 miles on it, it was in an accident and has a salvage title, but all my trucks have had that. It has the 6.2 gas engine, the 7.3 gas would have been my favorite but this should do. That flat bed will come off and I'll build an aluminum one.
Also decided to put up another pole shed and they started on that while we were gone, got the frame up and ready for tin.

It's 40x60x14 and will have 2-20' sliding doors and a walk in door and just dirt floor. My other shed has concrete floor and is already set up to be insulated if I want, so this is just storage. I wish it could have been bigger, but that's what the budget will allow for now. I can put lean-to on each side later if I want.

I'm not sure what that is. The doors only open in so you can't store anything there. I'm thinking this was used for road work and someone would stand there while driving, maybe to out cones out.

I rented one of these long ago for a special operation.
I found the fold down sides were quite handy for what we were doing.
If I remember correctly the one we had , the sides were about half as tall these pictured.

Nice improvements to the kingdom. I'm getting shed / garage envy.

Needed, and a good choice. Hauling stuff looks like a dooable option with that rig. jim

I agree: it is in fact a "stuff getter" and a fine one indeed. steve

My last building, the building to end all buildings, went up several years ago. 60x120x14. They suggested 16, but I saved a bunch by going 14, and I don't need 16. The barn is on top of a hill, so if someone wanted 16 someday they could excavate out 2 feet, and change the doors if they wanted. The mistake I made was not having plastic laid under the steel roof. It "rains" in there. Not a huge issue for me. A friend who put up a similar barn which would house loaded hay wagons had the plastic put down, and that I think should be standard.

They make a coating for the underside of metal roofs to prevent the rain. It forms a porous surface so the condensation doesn't form drops and fall, it just re-evaporates away.

Nice building going up

 

[caterpillar guy]

It will not be long and the combine will need more height . Too late now but 16 or 18 feet would be a better bet. But then spending other peoples money is easy. LOL I want to build a shop with 18 - 20 foot to the ceiling so if you need to work on the top of a combine you are not right against the ceiling to work.

 

[J Wendt]

Looks great. Perfect size on both accounts.

Doesn't look like much room on the right side for a lean-to.

There is 25' there, so we could add at least 18' if I want.

Jon did you see the thread about breakfast in Burnsville on Friday.

At 70 years of age I think I'm on my last combine, so 14 works. And given Jon's proclivity for antique Case machinery, he may be on his last also!
The ground drops off on each end of my barn, so excavating down 2 feet inside and on each end would work, without putting it in a hole.

Jon, Thanks for pics !
