No…….I can get hurt all by myself. :handgestures-thumbupright:
I did get all the walls up. Not perfect but will definitely fit the bill.

@19richie66  , nice write up , suggest , using lucas heavy duty high performance 80-90 trans / diff oil , with " climbing gear additives  " ,like a very light STP  type of slinging / sticking  lubrication . since going to that , and regularly using every available gear / ratio , it just works easier / smoother , quieter . also do a partial fill at a highest available area . recently started adding a TYE WRAP , JUST AFTER MY SHIFT BOOTS . prevents them from leaving the area , also give them a silicone under spray , so they slide / move easier . pete

I’m sorry. Been spinning round and round with everything. Put up some pics of the shed soon. The building now has a roof and hopefully soon it will be enclosed. As for the D, it has a mockingbird nest on top of the transmission. I’m letting the squatters have it till the babies are gone and then I will pull the transmission and install the new gaskets. Then I can fill it with fluid and hopefully start it and test out my coupler operation. Believe me I want to work on it. Soon…….

Well, no tractor update but we do have siding going on. Won’t be too much longer. The rough concrete area to the right will eventually be filled in and smoothed out for a simple slab.

While everyone is at the show, I have been busy. Almost done with the exterior.

Did you scrap it, or just haven’t done anything with it?  It was so magnificent!

Didn’t scrap it but not spending anymore on it. I do have plans for leftovers but nothing anytime soon. Just some things are more important.
