Put the tin on the walls today. Raining almost all day,but I hate to waste a good warm day off. Tin looks terrible, or awesome, depends on how much you like rust! Roof tin is almost new, no rust, but a few dozen nail holes. Gotta dab something in those. Oh well. I got zero dollars in it! Will move some tractors in there tomorrow.

Will probably get gravel when it dries out a bit, maybe June!! Lol
 
Did you get your permit? Did you get the engineer specs approved? Got it on the tax rolls for future years?

And so, that is why we can?t do anything nice like that ?here.? The 8x16 skid shards from a lumber yard are included in regulations here and I?m in a rural Ag county so rural we don?t have a municipal airport in the county.

Sigh.

Looks good, like the tractors a lot too.

Just buy some Rustoleum Red barn paint and spray the sides. It will cover the rust well and make it last much longer. I bet that you have a spray paint rig with doing fences.
 

What tractors do you have have in there? Also, what part of the country are you in? I really like your piece of property from the pictures.
 
Grandpa, I used some old tin on a woodshed that had extra holes so I got some 1 1/4 inch asphalt shingle nails with the big head, then put a dab of silicone on the hole then stick a nail in it and press down a bit, still good. Ed Will Oliver BC
 
Ed Will ,great idea. We always just squeeze some out of a tube of tar,with a caulking gun. It usually falls right out!
 
Oliver 77. MM r. And Cub going in there. And the Moline plow. Allis B will go in barn so we can fix it.
 
Hey johnv are you the young man
looking for a tractor? Too bad you
live so far away. I saw a sweet
running farmall H yesterday for
$600. Tires are dry and cracked
but hold air. Road trip?
 
Nice shed and being free makes it better. Isn’t rust the normal color for old roofing tin in the south? I think the color looks natural with the backdrop you have.
 
I like free. you fit in my catagory.
Ive done so much with so little for so long that i can do almost anything with nothing.
 

You need to be looking for a piece of land to put your museum on. Be sure to hire an architect for it though!
 
Have the wifey go out there and dab some dark green paint on with a course sponge, hit and miss on that wall tin and exposed timbers and you won't even notice the building being there.

I'm already planning on more stuff. I saw an awesome sweet potato planter yesterday. 3 point hitch, 2 row. 4 folks sit on it. Hope to pick it up in a couple weeks. My wife approved it! Ha

George, not much of an issue here. Long front beam is double 2x6 so we should be good for our little snow falls.
 
Your Highness,
I don't know where he lives.

My building inspector required I have two 2x12 over my 10 x 8 ft overhead door on pole barn, the gable end. No load there because of trusses. Just code.

If I wanted overhead door on side, I would have to have an 12 inch engineered beam.

And my post had to be 4x6 and four feet below grade.

I can't build anything without board of health, area planning and building inspector approving plans first. This free shed wouldn't have been approved. And even if the shed is free materials and free labor my county assessor would put a value on it, about $15 sq ft, and I would be taxed at 3%.

You got to love building codes.

Very nice and was free. Just a suggestion. Spray some appliance white paint inside. Really brigtens things up.
 
That is a great response I will be using that one myself just read it and showed my wife we both got a good laugh thanks very 😆
 

That’s me, I’m 18 and looking for a tractor! Too bad it’s thats far away, because that’s a great deal. I have a line on a $900 Farmall H right now that I should be buying soon.
 

It is exactly shed I want for my tractor and firewood. How did you anchor upright supports?
 
18" in ground and bag of concrete
mix. Ground is so wet holes filled
up with water. Pour mix in dry,
it's set up good! No frost line
here so holes don't have to be
crazy deep.

....nice when nature provides the waster, you just add the cement. Bedrock very close to surface in many places here. It'll be interesting when it's time to dig post holes.
