The 8030 & the D15 thought they should be the first to rest in the new shed/shop, build the shed last fall and just got the floor poured Friday the 6 I'm looking forward to setting up the new shop after I retire Dec 29 2017. Kenny L.

Nice shed. If it's less than 100' by 1000' it's already too small. LOL ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

You did good! It really looks nice, especially the way you blended it in with the old foundation. NICE JOB!! What's with the sliding door on the side toward the house? I hope you saved them old barn boards. They sell them for big $$$ up around here. People are actually using them in their houses! Can you believe it!?!? They put up a solid dark color and then space the old boards. All I can say is,,,,,,,,,,,different. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

| Ted, the door is to the loft so I can put stuff up there after I get the new wall in that is going to divide the shed for heating reason. Yes all the good beams and lumber was saved and giving to my in law and they could do what ever they want to do with it. Ted you going to come down and help me do the inside of the shed? |

Nice building just won't be big enough. Retired completely 4 years ago and don't seem like I can get as much done as I did when I was working.

Good looking shed! Winters are long enough, we don't need to be working out in a snow drift! Particularly once we are retired. Darn snow down my neck is not my favorite thing anymore. ------------- |

I crack up when you guys out in the mid-west and west show your "sheds". A "shed" around here is something you put your rakes, & hoes and junk in. Normal size "shed".. 6'W x 4D x 8'H. Or a quicker definition, a little larger than an outhouse less the turlet... LOL! Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

Very nice! Nothing beats being able to get in out of the weather to work on things. I've got a D15 I'm busily ordering parts for as well. Can't wait to get them all in, so I can get at it. Definition of retirement..... Get up in the morning with nothing to do, and go to bed with it only half done.

Yep thats a good one! I do need to set down and sketch a shed. Need it, just not sure where the funds are going to come from? Thanks for the pictures and inspiration!
