[AT] New tractor shed

I can understand your being tired of winter; being way up there.  Getting
that tin roof on is a big step.  Hope the weather permits your getting the
sides on also.  I have to ask; what year is the Case CC?    I spent many
hours on a 1938 CC; great tractor in its day.  Herb

> Had a break in the weather today. It was about 25F and no wind. I was
able to take the afternoon off from the office and we started putting the 
tin on the roof of a 40x40 pole building. The building has a 12’ 3”
sidewall and by putting a scissors rafter in the number 2 position we will
be able to have a 
16’ wide overhead door with a full 12 foot clearance.  I’ll actually
have a building I can get my loader tractors into. It won’t have heat and
only a gravel floor but at least they will be out of the wind and snow. 

I’m tired of winter and it doesn’t even start for another week. Wet
conditions this fall kept me from hauling manure and hay when I normally
do. I got most of the hay in but I had a few fields where I had to wait
until the ground froze. Problem is we got too much snow first and that kept
the ground from freezing quickly.  I got one load of fifteen bales last
Sunday.
I had to blow snow for almost a full mile to get the pickup and trailer in
to the field because the roadt shoulders had not been mowed. Once we got to
the field the pickup was able to follow in the tractor tracks most of the
time blowing a track open.
