Thanks! The Allis problem that we have has led me to build this 1/4 scale version of the big shop. I had the dirt work done by my neighbor, other than that Our oldest son Eric and friend John and I have thrown these sticks in the air and not hired a crew to do the work. Maybe a savings of about 1/2 the cost of having a crew build it. Will have about $20K in the materials if I get the concrete completed by a friend. Not sure if I saved anything as the time factor is worth something also? Specs: Same roof pitch, 6/12, trusses on 16" centers (yea overkill right) with 1/2 inch OSB covering the entire structure, same shingles, Full length roof vent, dark gray vinyl siding above stained 10" ship-lap hemlock for the exterior finish. it is 24 feet wide by 32 deep. (I was restricted on length due to our lot size. Had to get a variance on distance to boundary.) Ceiling height will be 10'2". Garage door is 12 wide x 9 high (insulated), with trim of the Azac material. 6 windows, double hung vinyl, one 36" wide man door. Complete fascia and sofit. Will have gutters added to the eaves. Electrical completed by Grandson Nic (Casbohm Electric) No heat supply yet, (cold storage), might bring a propane line into the building and use a small heater if needed someday. No real plans to insulate or finish the interior. Built at this time just for tractors and odd items, But could make a nice building as a wood working shop??. So far I have put 6 tractors in it and hope to pack a couple more in there when winter approaches our neck of the woods. Thanks for checking in on me. Thinking about retiring and just watching shuffleboard on the tube!:) Regards, Chris and Cheryl

I sure hope Cheryl gets to feeling better! Our twin to Ruby (stormy) is still a puppy at 2 years, i'm sure she'll stay the same at 3 years! oh...and she's a great mouse hunter, has caught several outside. we took her with us to the local farm store last week...(they allow dogs inside the store) and she pegged a mouse in the feed section of the store, the manager told the help to move the sacks and out that ole mouse came and she had it caught in no time!! the manager gave her a chew bone for her efforts!

Folks, Thanks very much for checking in on us. I am having serious photo problems with my laptop. So nothing on all the forums is getting much love! We have been busy all summer with starting and working on the mini shop. Plus car shows, tractor pulls, fairs, AACA car club, and more. Just like most folks here, trying to cram in the last good fall days to get things wrapped up prior to the "S" word! I will try to get some pictures up too. Yes the buildings are never big enough! This mini shop should help off load the big shop of tractors and misc items. About 80% complete on the new shop. couple more windows, the gray vinyl on top and 3 foot of hemlock below. Yep same materials as the big shop. Should fit right in on the property! Hope things are good in Orange land! The CA is still waiting for some love too. Also still need to complete the two post lift in the big shop! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

I put a second coat over the "bleed through" areas that I could reach without getting back up on the scaffolds and it covered pretty good. A couple friends also suggested wallpaper - I was thinking farm related or checkered flags, but it's okay enough now, for me.

It's nice to hear from you again! Yeah Chris, I've been taking care of my wife also. She just got over radiation treatments.
It doesn't leave me much time for tractor stuff right now. Here it is getting closer to winter and all of the stuff I had planned.....it'll still be here come spring. Make sure you build the new shed big enough!  Stay well in Orange land...

Almost too bright. That's with most of the (screw in LEDs) lights on. They're on pull cord sockets, so I can/usually turn many of them off.

Thanks Guys and probably some ladies on here too. Cheryl will not be able to drive anymore. ( since the first of this year) That was a tough one. many more to come. We are closer than ever. Maybe fight more than ever, and having more good times than ever. Hope things are good in Orange land. We are going tractor pulling Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday. Then a truck show Sunday. Lets see if we survive all that! :) Ruby is full of business and still a pup after a year. Regards, Chris and Cheryl |

Chris, I know what be a care giver is like. My wife had chemo for breast cancer in 2019 and has neurophathy in both feet from the chemo and hasn't driven since and if she goes out without me she uses a cane.

Hoping for the best with Cheryl.

John, folks,
Yes a building is never big enough! ;) Working on the post layout for drilling the holes for the posts in the new mini shop.
Have the framing and laminated post setting here.
Trusses are a couple weeks out.
John, we trailered the 32. About a 5 hour trip with stops. Not sure the ragged ol' truck could make that trip?? :)
We are having changes in our lives as I become much more of a care giver to my wife than I have ever done. She took care of us for 50 years, my time to take a shot at helping her and I get through the days.
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

Sounds like you two have been busy. Did you drive the truck or trailer it? Always good to hear what you are up to. Remember when we all told you the new shop wasn't big enough??? lol

Ac Folks, Brief update on the shop. We just purchased a used two post lift for the shop. It is a rotary brand. rated at 12,000 lb. should work for most everything we have here. Hope to get it cleaned up and installed in a couple weeks. Also put in a gravel base pad for another building 24 x 32. Not sure that will happen this year but it will be a good start for a cold storage tractor storage building. Just got back from a week in Dearborn Michigan. Two car shows: Early V8 club, and the Motor Muster, with the 32 dump truck. Toured two museums, the Gilmore and the Henry Ford. Also toured Greenfield village. Hope things are good in Orange land! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Chris, good to hear from you! I was wondering how you were doing and how the maple sugar crop was this year.

Had some high winds a few weeks ago and lost power for 2.5 days and a tree almost hit the sugar house. I probably won't get to Ohio until Oct this year as some friends are coming from Europe then. My aunt is still doing well, will be 101 this June and still has most of her marbles! Looks like you are making good progress on the CA, hows the truck coming?

John, The truck is running good! New engine has 250 miles on the rebuild. Cheryl and I just went to a local car show tonight and had a nice dinner. The 32 Dump Truck preformed very well. Regards, Chris and Cheryl
