Your tire looks similar to mine on the tractor. I'm not sure what's gonna give up the ghost first, my tires or my motor...:rolleyes:

Nice work on expanding your drive/parking area!

I finally got all my chin up on the ceiling and the lights installed. Now all I have to do is finish the walls and put up my trim board around the top Edge so I do not get insulation falling out of the ceiling every time I open the doors

Looks bright in there, just what you want! [cl[cl[cl
it is bright alright. If you walk in at night and flip the lights on and actually takes a bit of time for your eyes to adjust

I've gotten a little bit done in the last couple days. I finished my two front outside lights today, I build an awning over the walk-in door out of some old model A Wheels and an old Dodge bird bath Hood I had , and I install the lift

Looks great!

Please explain a couple things for me...

What's with the windmill? They're a common sight in this part of the world, but I doubt any are functional anymore.

The long roof lying in the aggregate... do you have the world's longest and largest Dachshund? [S

I bought the windmill as a project a few years ago. I got tue brake system and the gear hox all working. It is not hooked to a well. But it does spin amd function that way. I have paper work from when and where it was built back,in the early 1900s. Big yard art

The long wiene dog house is actually my well house hahahahaha
 
So I stayed up way too late tonight but I got my shelf on the back wall almost done. I was in one of those moods just to keep working. But being that I have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow morning and it's 11 now, good morning is going to come quickly. So I have two shelves down low that I can put boxes and whatnot on and one clear up at the ceiling for stuff that I do not use as much. Then I'm using the old Tire Rack brackets as steel racks. I was told that all this shelving came out of a service station in town and it was used to hold tires but I will have three rows in the middle of everything to put my Steel on. I hope maybe to have enough pieces of this left to put a rack in the back corner to hold a set of tires or two. Just cuz that's what it was originally made for. If not I will still be using it well I haven't ended it. It will save me a bunch of money in shelving

Yeah this morning came really early LOL. The problem is is it's not just an isolated incident. I've been out working on something or another whether it's the shop or irrigation till 10:30 or 11 since we moved into this house
 
Just found this thread.
Lots of good looking work being done pretty quickly. You'll be working on projects in there in no time.
Keep posting up the pics, because we all like pics.
