How is the Case running? Some guy was trying to sell one beat to heck for $4k with an attachment or two -- not running. You still got a deal.

Good. But I need to replace that lower control valve. It's still not right

so the way it looked before we got started

so we started up by the coop

and worked our way down along the fence

did some finish grading with shovel and rake

now we have a good slope to the left and the right

we were thinking of putting some drain tile across the front of the barn, but it started raining and they are calling for 5 to 6 inches over the next couple days, so we decided to wait and see how it works out as it is

looks like I have some more drainage issues to resolve, water is pooling up at the end of the pig pen and where the boys walk through, which is creating huge areas of ice, I've been having to put sand down to keep them from falling and breaking a leg

a couple of recent threads have got me thinking, I need a workshop, so I'm going to talk it over with my wife and see what her thoughts are, the plan for the cabin is to use the slip form method, so I figured it would be a good test run, hopefully to be continued
