Some of you may remember some pics I posted a few weeks ago of the concrete floor we poured in my new shed
Well it is all set hard now and I found some time this week to make up a gable truss to suspend the lean-to roof without the need for posts. I spent a day laying it out and doing the cutting with a stihl 12" saw and got it all tacked together with my hobby welder. Then I used the Honda petrol welder to weld it up proper
I burnt a complete box(120) rods on this and £!5 of petrol!
I also took delivery of a truck load (600)of 18"x9"x6" concrete blocks for the walls. Now was a good time before the girders go up for the lean-to roof, as the block grab on the truck could set them where they are needed.
I used my old tractor and loader to lift and turn the truss for welding. This tractor can lift about 1200 kgs and it was near it's limit with this truss, guess the truss weighs a ton or so
I got a guy to help me for two days this week and we managed to frame the lean-to roof. The sheds are second-hand so I painted all the steel and creosoted the timber to make it like new!, At least if I have to put any new timber in the creosote will help everything to match....
I also opened a new entrance and fitted some gates, the small gate is for my daughter's pony....so she doesn't have to open up the whole entrance!
The new truss in place ready for phase two, (or the second shed!) The next shed will be 120x40, the lean-to is 78x25.Should hold/keep some machinery out of our damp climate!
Just though some of you might be interested in how we construct our sheds (barns!)

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
