Someone at work asked why I was building a pole barn.....sigh, here goes.
1. Heating with propane was costing $5000/season
2. Bought OWB
3. Realized that a LOT of wood was needed
4. Realized that a road to get to OWB was needed to avoid lugging wood across yard
5. Bought skid steer to build road
6. Bought 1 ton PU to haul wood
7. Bought 16' equipment trailer to haul wood and skid steer
8. Bought grapple for skid steer
9. Bought many saws over the time from #1-#8
10. Ran out of room in garage for all the tools required to maintain old equipment
11. Realized needed barn for working on equipment
I am trying to hide the rediculous list of tools and hobbies that have grown around the OWB from my wife. Sooner or later she is going to figure this out - and then I am a dead man, so I figure might as well make the most of it until then.
My sons are helping me build the pole barn and I decided to start recording it on a web page for the fun of it and to help other folks who might be interesting in building a barn but who don't have significant construction experience (I don't either).
