Other than a couple remaining skirt boards to install, my machine shed's finally rebuilt from the tornado last year. Well, at least the part the contractor was hired to do - still have to run new wiring and lights and pour concrete in the rebuilt back half (originally dirt).
Which brings me to my 'seat time' for today. When I excavated, I pretty much eye-balled how much dirt I was taking out, and went about 4-6" too deep in places. We had a very nice spring day today, so after dumping a few bucket loads of year-old manure on the garden for Wife to spread, I started shuttling dirt back into the hole using the AC 190:
After 10 loads or so, I'd drag it around with the 8N to get it leveled out. I still have a little more to do in the corners, but it's about where it needs to be now. 6" of compacted gravel and 6" of 'crete will have me a really nice, "new" machine shed.
The tractors seemed to enjoy getting to park there again after being crammed into the smaller shed for the past year.
Just for comparison (and for those who may have missed my posts from last year), here's what it looked like after the wind "event:"
