smithy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I had to miss the road run we do for charity this year as I was bailing hay which was a shame but you look like you had a good turnout for yours hope it did not rain as the last one I did it fell down and I did not have a cab on my tractor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 spent the day digging out a corner of my shed trying to figure out why a big holes opened up below it I am guessing its settlement from all the recent work, but nothing else has dropped, shed was down by a good 6",and the soil was just dropping away , i managed to get down to hard rocks about 3 ft down , so set a pile of breeze blocks on quick set concrete, shed currently sat on a bit of 2x4 steel box, at that corner being held just above the blocks by a trolly jack, concretes prob ok to drop it onto now, but I will give it overnight to set for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
