had some sinking do to not planning it to be so big in the start and had to repair this spring

Deck was sinking on 1 corner and leaning to the hill.Took 2 days to fix,drove 10 lbs of 3" screws while holding it with the tracto r+ 2 come alongs. worked out sweet.
Never pland on a roof so the footer was to weak to hold the weight.NOT NOW,the sun was so hot here all day that the roof is for shade not rain

Awesome! I can't imagine a much better set up then that. No where to shoot here except an overpriced indoor range.

ALL the people with $$ don't have no where good to shoot and i have to live were every 1 is just above poor.but i don't buy much ammo. i shoot other peoles.and they don't have a caliber i don't.
every person that shot there AR here this summer was 1 i built them.It's funny to see 4 or more guys all laughing and having a good time with something you made from there bare receivers. and to have that meany customers happy at 1 time never happened when i had a backhoe service. :roll: :lol:

I sure hope you had the safety catch in place when you had the bucket up on that loader. I climbed in and out of one for a long time with out ever giving it any real thought.
A local fellow that I knew through mutual friends did it one too many times. His wife and son found him. It was a bad day.
FYI a brand new machine, less than 5 hours on it. One of the steel line fittings broke.

A Omish logger i know had that happen on 1 that was way bigger, CAT and he just made it.They said he should be dead. they could not start the machine to get him out.You can bet i don't trust anything like that.I got no ribs that arn't broke a few times each on my right side now so i got to watch everything i do.Sept 28 will be 16 years and i hurt every day of those 16 years.quad roll over me twice.

But thanks for caring enough to speak up.Thats good advice to anyone reading this.

and thanks for all the nice words from everyone on my place,it's all i live for.
