Popular Post Tractorman810 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2020 Got the granary in rough position mainly due to lack of space on the bench , still needs fine tuning and then the slabs can be fixed down, and weeds ect added, also knocked the bale stack over so thats another job to sort am pondering putting a smaller silo on the front as well , as the yard seems very large , and maybe filling in the area between the barn and this (silver silo at present )with trees ect 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the floor boards coffee stirrers from McDonalds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 no mate, its a lime wood, 1 mm x 5 mm, i get it in 25 x 1m lengths off ebay, tend to use it for doors and other bits as well ,takes the stain nicely, and is easier to work with to be honest , have tried the coffee stirrers in the past and found they tend to splinter when cutting , and take the stain un evenly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
