Someone from Wisconsin was recently asking about pole sheds I believe. Here are some pics from the construction of ours. Up here the most durable woods we have for poles are Eastern white cedar and tamarack - I went with tamarack for the added strength. 2x8's for beams; 2x8's for rafters; 2x6's and 2x4's for vertical sheet strapping; 2x4's for roof strapping. I skidded them out with our '51 Case VA. I tried using the 3pth post hole digger to dig the holes, but my auger wasn't big enough for the butt end of the logs. I went with 16ft poles sunk 4ft, and the shorter side was sunk 5ft and 10ft left above. I got a friend to bring over his backhoe for the holes, but still had trouble with the sides caving in when lifting the poles into place. We ended up using the hoe to lift them into place, but that ended up giving me far from perfect dimensions - making the roofing a bit of a challenge. The Case helped me get the roofing up to the top strapping. All I need to finish it up is to side the south end, get some tin flashing up on exposed wood, cut off exposed roof strapping, and hang some barn doors on gate hinges. Footprint ended up being 25ft long and 12ft wide. I figure if I get really creative with my bale stacking, it will hold 500 small square bales for the hay burners. Along with our other small hay storage, we'll be able to stockpile almost 800 bales before the snow flies next year = no scary driving during the worst that winter has to offer. If there's a better way for me to post these pics to the forum without the link, don't be afraid to tell me.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
