bluegreen Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The maize gang have arrived around the out skirts of the village this week and by Sunday should be right in the middle of it as theres 75 acres in a few fields up a narrow lane Looks like they are using mostly Richard Western trailers behind big New Hollands plus CASE and JD, hopefully I will get some more pics to put on my bluegreen picture thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 had to wait till 2 ish this afternoon due to the rain , but managed to get more done on the shed, guttering is on now, along with the roof beams in, and nearly finished the front cladding now, just got to move a few bits of sleeper so i can finish that, meant to be dry tomorrow so all being well i will fit the roof osb sheets ,and maybe with luck, get it properly sealed, if not i have a new 5x4 m tarp via work, so it will be watertight, even if its not its final finish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
