Raising Gamebirds > Build It Yourself

Took 10 years

(1/4) > >>

Reeves:
To fill the house , a 72x22 pole barn & my 26x24 shop.
Time for a 20x15 storage building  ck1
10' on the high side & 8' on the other.

Reeves:

Reeves:
Not like me to not take in progress pictures.
First I laid down filter cloth.
I built a base frame out of pressure treated 4" x 4". Then built another one around it.
The land tilts two ways, so needed the outside to hold the 3/4" crush inside.
I then raised the inside base frame & pounded in the crush to hold it up level.

I then screwed in 4' tie downs in each corner. This is to hold the building in high winds.
The 4"x4" are held in place by 2' rebar every 2-3'.

I didn't put the short 2x4s between the studs. I am putting full length 2x4s inside to hold the shelf backs.

Hope to get it done before frost/snow fly !

Little Bear Game Farm:
Looking good Reeves  s98

Never have enough space, what do you have going in there, more Pintos?

Good idea on the tie downs, neighbor that raises calves had a 50' x 30' 3 sided structure lift up and topple over last year

Reeves:
I have 3 Pintos right now. I'm calling one a parts car. The other 2 are in the 26 x 24 shop. Both torn apart. Not much room left !

New barn will have shelves all the way to the roof on 2 sides.
Wife wanted it big enough to pull her Ford Ranger inside during summer hail storms.
We'll see if there is room after 6 months  :grin:
