I had planned this year to build a building to house my baler, hay rake, haybine and stock trailer. You know how my year went so you shouldn't be surprised that, that's not happening!
Before building the building I first have to move the stuff I stacked by the hayshed last year when I moved it out of the hayshed. If I only knew I would be building a building here I wouldn't have placed the stuff here.
The equipment building will go along the 'buffalo' fence on the left, which means the wood there has to be moved. A domino effect as I plan to move the wood to where the barb wire and extra pallets sit. Which means...
Last week I finished the barb wire move. I had to wait a day after moving the wire off the pallet for the pallet to unfreeze from the ground. Then I could move the pallet and restack the wire.
Also, in the background of the following photo I took the 'opportunity' to go through the long boards and poles that had been sitting on the hidden wooden feeder for many years. After discarding (into firewood) the boards and poles not worth keeping any longer, I restacked the remaining boards and poles. Also I put the wooden feeder on pallets to get it off the ground and prevent further rot from the ground. Nothing is simple or quick to do. At least most of the stuff right against the hayshed, and the wooden fence posts, do not have to be moved.
Here you can see the end of the feeder under the poles. Also a side view of the boards in the background that have to be moved.
The past few days I have started to move boards. First I had to remove nails and screws from a stack of boards hidden from view to the right of the visible stack of boards. I had two years to do that and never found the time to do it. So I made time now.
The weather forecast is iffy for the next week. Probably further slowing my move.
