Loafing Shed Refurbish

[Mini Horses]

REAL serious. Just wait and see. .

Mark calendar...Dec 2022. . Inquire of Margali, any new talents unexpectedly learned?

Milwaukee wasn't joking about the forged steel teeth cutting well. Their guide for max diameter of soft/medium metal seems accurate. I got these because the next size in stock was 2' and double cost at $65. I didn't need a lot of force either. Closest analogy is the force to shove an apple sectioner thru the apple.

I don't remember where I got mine but I don't think cutting a cattle panel with them is as easy as yours appear to be. Must be I have cheap ones. If I used them more often I'd be looking at those Milwaukees!

I'm glad you think it is funny, we are being SERIOUS!!

Oh @Margali, you REALLY need to listen to the !!

You have NO idea how many things you will need to learn or tools/equipment you'll need to buy! Either that or you are going to need a gold mine to hire people to do everything. For example, at the old "suburbia" house on a 1/10 acre lot - push reel mower and a couple of snow shovels. Here on the "farm", garden tractor with 54" mower deck and a 50" snow blower. I think I have 6 shovels now.

I had a small tree saw and loppers for cutting branches on the tree in the back yard when they got to close to the house. I now have 2 chainsaws. You can take the chain to the service place to get sharpened for $10 (last I did it) or learn to sharpen your own. Second is much cheaper and you get right back to work.

And that is just a start

@Bruce I love, love my Milwakuee M18 chainsaw. It cuts great, is quiet, and lightweight.
My next skill I need to learn is tin roofing. The blasted wind has pulled more off damaged end of shed.

Remember when putting on the metal roof panels the rubber grommet screws go through the flat part of the panel, NOT through the flattish ridges! Yes someone in the past did it wrong on the barn roofs here.

You are amazing. You can do anything and what you can't do, you do it anyway. @Bruce and I can talk you through tin roofing. You got this.

Where there is a bunch of wind use huge washers... it makes it harder for the roof to tear loose.

 

[Margali]

Did some more repair work. I got the jagged holes in large pen patched with two small chunks of tin. It looks like someone put forklift tines thru from the inside. I also used screws with grommets to suck all the loose seam on the walls up tight.

 

[Margali]

Need to rework the pens in the shed. The aisle is too narrow, walls too tall, and fence gaps too big.

I'm not strong enough to lift a full 5gal pail of water over a 48" fence easily. If I pour thru the fence water goes everywhere. The current gates on small pen are 3 handed operation. I'm thinking about 36" for the walls facing aisle so it's easier. Other issue is feeding pellets. Scoop doesn't fit thru fence and if I reach over, they headbut scoop so pellets go everywhere.

You could also keep fence at the current height, but cut in a feeding hatch.

Or... just put a stump on your side of the fence, so you can easily reach over.
