Default Speed Barn 3

Note: This is strictly a low budget build. I'd much rather have a bigger, nicer building, with hydraulic lifts, insulation, A/C, etc. So most will not be interested in this series at all. But, for the low budget guys that can handle a $10k budget build, some of this info may be helpful.



The concrete crew came back and dressed up the dirt, & finished their work & clean-up.

But, as much rain as we get here, I knew there was not enuff of the right kind of dirt to survive. So, I used my Kioti tractor to scoop up some dirt and put it all around the slab. Then, after I packed it all down, we put some old hay, from TJ's horse barn, on top of the dirt. It worked real good. The dirt was unaffected by several more rains we had.
