New cattle shed for 2013


Recommended Posts

Brilliant. It's nice to see how you have made your barriers, clever yet simple really which is how a hobby needs to be really. Jez on here had a simple way. He found some rectangle (rather than square) mesh, cut out a strip then held the right bottom corner with pliers and the top left corner with pliers and then gave it a gentle pull. It looked just like yours, maybe not as strong but it looked very good.

I like seeing soldering, something I havn't ever been able to sit down and have a good go at properly.

thanks.. must put up photos of how I made the single cublicles too and how i'm going to make the double cublicles.. soldering is kinda easy enough once you have a good solder gun..i use a gas solder gun

There is a delay in getting the double cublicles....the boys who were making them wanted more money for the job they said the price of steel has gone up since they priced the job...you nearly know the rest of the story . . . of course the farmer wasn't going to pay extra and he told them to f#>#  ### etc. . etc..so he is waiting for the new guys to make them now so he ordered the cow mats while he was waiting for them..few photos of the boys unloading them

The farmer brought back a old friend of the farm to help out putting in the cow mats...well he was made bring him back cause it turned out Bob (chainsaw Bob) is his brother in law..he wasn't working a hour and slipped off the concrete slab and it looks like he hurt his head..

Farmer said he better make a start on putting the roof on the shed so out came the john deere and trailer..he sent john off to the hardware store for the timber

just like some of the trailers you'd see on farms it was missing one wheel,bob got a puncture during the summer and took off wheel but never got it fixed.. . .just hope he won't meet the cops on the road
