Tractor time.

Are you putting down a geotextile fabric before the gravel?

Are you putting down a geotextile fabric before the gravel?

Yeah... I guess that's what it's called. A grass/weed barrier.

Got the weed cloth down and most of the gravel in place. I've started taking the old, cheesy carport apart and moving it.

(Glad I took that last picture. I forgot I left my drill/driver up there! )

Is it just heavy plastic?

That's why we have Round Up...

Went with the extra bracing gussets. Rather have too many than not enough.

And a hell of a nice paint job too. Well done. Looks like something a factory would put out.

Speaking of light compact tractors, I’m going to build a weight box for the three point. Found another tractor weight yesterday. That makes 5 now. Won’t have to keep an implement on the back for additional traction and stability.
The front loader adds so much weight to the front that one has to stay in 4WD all the time. Front wheels do 80% of the work.

That can happen if you don’t keep up.
