angle view. The bad part is how high it ended up above grade, I have to pour a 7.5" apron now that originally only planned to be 4".

You know all those people who need to use "your" shop when "their" car need to be worked on? I couldnt find any of them around this weekend; so I put poles in the hole by myself!/



Step One:

Walk the six x six x 16' post upright against the tractor bucket:







Then attach chains to eye bolts, lift and lower into hole:





Then you measure again and break out the backout to make the mislocated hole larger for the next post:





Is good to have many pieces of heavy machinery at you disposal!

The people that show when work needs to be done are your friends, the rest are just acquaintances... Lookin good though, also like the real posts.. Mine were laminated together out of 2x10's, probably due to height, lets hope the glue holds.

The bed liner is an interesting treatment, never thought about using it as preservative.

I like that backhoe attachment on the kubota..

Got walls and stuff now?

More pics?

Stumps are F#%@ing brutal to pull..

The company that built mine is out here right now fixing deficiencies, like crooked cladding and all 4 walls are at different heights, at least they came back to fix it I guess..
