rjg854 11,247 #26 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) We consider one of those bars as a post setting bar, because you can use the blade end of the bar in conjunction with post hole diggers, to dig the hole, and the other end of the bar to tamp the dirt around post as your backfilling it. Much better that a spud bar Edited July 1, 2019 by rjg854 sp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHunter 1,700 #27 Posted July 1, 2019 I knew one of my horses would have a part in this build. Mason did good backing the trailer trailer up to my truck. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHunter 1,700 #30 Posted July 4, 2019 We picked up the rest of the 2x6s for the floor beams and 6 sheets of 3/4” plywood . The C-141 towed the trailer around back without a problem. It’s the most weight I’ve had on my homemade hitch yet. I made it from an old piece of exercise equipment that someone was throwing out. It works great. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been working on the garage every free minute and haven’t had time to update. the shingles are on and the garage door is installed.thought I would have the siding completed by now but I Tore the meniscus in my knee while doing the shingles. I’m having surgery this Friday. Im happy I was able to get it sealed up for the winter though. My tractors are inside and dry. 😊 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
