I hate painting

Cowboy I could not agree with you further. I hate painting! When everything aligns it looks great, but then you have a day when nothing you do seems to work. My brother worked in auto body for many years. It is amazing how you paint one day and it is great, and then the next day you can't seem to replicate when you did the day before! Anyway these both look good. You have done some nice work and really my opinion is when it comes to paint we are our own worst critics.
Well I got the deck on and am waiting for my brother to get the stake pockets done. I sent him a drawing of what I wanted but for some reason it got saved to my drafts and not sent. But I should have them for the next time I go up!!
My friend Scott gave me some snow and ice shield to put under the deck. He said it really helps to keep the beams from rotting.
I cut it out and laid it on the beams then heated it up with a frost burner and it pretty much glued itself down. I hung it 1/2" over each side of the beam so any rain will run off.
Finally got the Super Uncle Billy hay wagon done!!!! Now I can take the kids for a hay ride!!!! But if they are bad or get too rowdy I can just dump them out!!!!
Ahh what's going on Help!!!
Going UP!!!!!!!! Hold on!!!!
Ok so I totally staged these pictures. I didn't dump Robby out.

Excellent! That snow and ice stuff is a great idea on top of wood... no standing water should help it last forever.
See you got the ejection system working! That is awesome! Do you set it like a mousetrap?

Yep it is
I was running out of room again and had to clear some more trees off of it.
It took 29 20,000lbs loads of gravel to make the front drive for the barn. The 23' wide culvert doesn't seem so wide when driving the dumptruck over it! I still have to get the side drive in. But I have to get the ditches established yet. And I am putting a 50' culvert in that one. And I still need 4-6" of gravel inside the barn. I left it low so we could concrete the inside but that doesn't look like it will happen soon. Luckily the wagon will go inside and dump since the dumptruck won't.

I like what you have been playing with. There is something rather fulfilling about being able to play in the dirt like that. Start with something that resembles a trail and end up with a nice finished road suitable for any vehicle. That is satisfaction You sure have done a great job :applause:
KInda envious especially since the likelyhood of me getting any more heavy equipment time is getting dimmer and dimmer all the time. Especially since this got done - Smooth Ride for my Cubs. You have one of the best jobs around you know that don't you :?: :!:

Just having fun playing in the woods :{_}:
Ya know it Rudi :||):
Although I don't actually have a job. I hope I have enough in my savings to make it to spring. At which point I will have to find a job even if it means going out of state. If it wasn't for Dad buying all the fuel and parts I would be broke now :!:

Count on it, you are in our prayers (+) and I am sure that all will be well. There has to be even in this rough economy, lots of call for superb equipment operators. Those are also like hen's teeth. Many think they are but really good operators are hard to find. Keep your hand in, enjoy the time with your family and getting those projects done for the family and things will work out. With faith in the Lord, it usually does

Thank ya kindly Rudi
I don't have a expensive lifestyle and a little money takes me a long way. I see so many people who's lives revolve what they own and how much money they spend. I just don't get it. For me I am happy to learn gain new skill becoming competent with what I do know and having and being a good friend. When I need a job I will find one. If the company I have been working with for the last five years gets a contract here I know I will be the first one called in to work.
