Every day should have at LEAST one whimsical project, me thinks.
Today, I had two. First, I setup a 12v pump and started draining the bigger pond so I can get it dried out and start excavating it to increase its size (both depth and surface area). I hope to have the pond project finished by early summer, so we can get it filled back in so Hooey can take her daily swims. That girl just LOVES to swim.
Next, I decided to build a ‘parking lot’ platform to ‘park’ my tractor implements and attachments when not in use. I really just want them up off the ground, in the same place, organized so I know where they are, and sheltered from the environment (precip + UV).
Came up with a quick design using concrete pylons and Weather Guard 2×4 joists to support 2×6 planks spaced about 6″ apart. Will end up being 32 feet long, 32 inches deep, and about 8 inches off the ground.
Got the lumber cut …
… and got the first 16 feet installed, but ran out of light, so we called it quits for the day.
