My Summer Vacation

Post by BADs Crew »

I started Friday with a 30 year old Shed and ended today with a new 12x18 barn. Here is what I started with.

Image
This was loaded with tools from the day when I owned an interior business along with all my mechanics tools and lawn equipment including my lawn tractor. This all needed to be taken out and the old shed taken down. The shed was 10x12.

I had to prep a level pad so while I was at it I installed 2 inches of new gravel on our 200' long driveway.

Image
I really worked the crew on a few lumber runs. This pic shows the crew with 10 sheets of 4x8x1/2 plywood, 12 2x4x12s,and 16 2x4x8. This was all used to build the new interior shelving.
Image

finally today I was able to take delivery of the new barn. Five days after I started the project.

Tomorrow I have to start loading the tools back in the new barn out of the temporary storage container I rented. And the pay off? My better half wants to paint the interior of our home. We picked up 8 gallons of paint of various colors on my last trip to Home Depot yesterday. I just love vacations away from the office,

Yes the side door opens to 50" and my mower deck is a 42. I ordered a ramp kit like you use to load a ATV on to the back of a pickup. I don't want a permanent ramp. because the door laps down past the floor level so I would have to modify the door to make it work. Besides it would just be one more thing to trim around when I mowed. Mowing is a 1 1/2 hour job as is. Oh I didn't mention that I built that old shed about 30 years ago. It was moved from my parents home 13 years ago and refurbished.

Thank you. It wasn't today after I made my last trip to the land fill today.

I had to run about a mile of muddy road sometimes up to a foot deep to get back to the dumping spot. After about the first 50 yards I figured the truck was in for a detail job at the end of the day anyhow so I went wild and in 4wd and gave the truck its first mud bath. I just finished the 2hr detail work and she's now ready to go back to my office in the morning and park with the BMWs and Caddies.

I like your ride too. I looked for a white one when I was shopping for mine but had no luck. I like the way the black trim and tires look with white paint. My very first S-10 was white.
