Over the past couple of months a tractor shed has appeared on the landing. The tractor exactly fits in it's new home; 16 x 6 feet.....no permit required because there is less than 120 square feet. It is entirely waterproof, with the new carbon plastic on the sides that is resistant to sunlight damage. Because there is so much light inside, it feels larger inside than it really is......
The main reason for the shed is to protect the tractor from the extremes in temperature; to keep the rain and snow away and to shelter the hydraulic hoses from the UV Light because they will deteriorate quickly in the sun. Now the barn I am building can be used for other more fun purposes!
Like a barn dance? I think we should have a barn party, and break it in properly. I see this tractor shed from the front deck at my house, and it's nice to see a close-up picture of it. I bet we get one with the shed covered in snow, before this winter is out. I do predict that this fine weather we have been having, will eventually be replaced by the other side of the proverbial coin. That's OK-we need the water.
ReplyDeleteReally? What other fun purposes will the barn be put to? Besides teh barn dance?
ReplyDeleteI think a barn dance would be great fun! We'll have to plan one.....as for the tractor shed, yes, the snows will come and you may see snow piled a foot high on the tin roof. The winds are also a challenge on the landing, and that is why I used plenty of steel including hurricane clips that connect the rafters to the to plate. It will take a lot to blow this shed away, though mother nature could do it in a heart beat if that is what is wanted!
