Some improvements around the kingdom

[David from Kansas]

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.

Sure looks like a nice truck. Is that seed on the back? Noticed the old Quonset shed. There were literally thousands of those built in the 40's - the
60's here in Kansas. We had one also which I remember my dad built with the help of family and neighbors. It was 40' x 100' and seemed huge at the time. Tornado took it in the 70's. Always enjoy your posts.

Looks like you brought sacks of money along back from Vegas, congrats! Now you can afford the lean tos right away!

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

Wow, that is deceiving from this angle.

This shows it better.

Are the post sized to support that additional 18 foot span, or would you use two rows of new columns?

They said it's ready for lean-to on both sides, what that means I don't know.

I think that means you can put a leanto on each side, but I would ask them how big a leanto it will support. if you want a deeper leanto, then just add a second row of columns.
