I've got a spot I can shoot from hill from a property by my across my 22 acres there, over the pole barn and hit the same targets I can from that platform and any stray rounds got a another 60 acres or more of mine to stop. Get one more parcel and we can have 424 acres to volley some rounds across.

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Originally Posted by whtbaron Ahhh... so they're not really pigs, they're an organic defoliation system... I can live with that... Yes didn't seem logical to buy tons of bentonite or rolls of pond liner when a pig can possibly do it and get a return on my investment along with experience.

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Originally Posted by whtbaron I like your catch and release cage for the pigs. Knowing what I do about pigs, I might be too tempted to squish them when they were contained to use that. I can see the hairy Berk cross for outside. Mine were all inside and I found the Berks were just too slow to get to weight to keep the barn moving, but there is a good specialty market for them. That electric fence will work until you get all dressed up to go somewhere, and then you're going to be chasing pigs in your freshly pressed tux. Start looking for cheap sources for page wire, but they will burrow under that too. With them outside, you'll probably need to hit them with Ivomec a couple times a year for internal parasites. Nine and nine tenths of the time I'm leaving this property, I'm leaving as if I was staying here. There is "some" Meshian in those, but isn't the reason I got them, they are there to gley the pond I dug for emergency wildfire, maybe keep a few ducks around and fire break right by the pole barn. I heard the Meshian part in them won't want to test the fence too much, there is about 18 joules to fry some bacon without touching the fence, I have done it. I have heard of the ivervectim thanks to Covid and what it's really meant for. If I keep these beyond the fall it's cause I seen they are worth it for how much money is going out and coming in.

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop About those pigs and ducks and geese and wow almost got a full operation going here. Did I mention last time I got fired back in October after working a week there cause I wasn't "fast" enough I came home looked around at all my equipment I have looked at my pole barn and it all came together.

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Originally Posted by whtbaron Wondered where you disappeared to ... glad to see you're still making headway... Yeah we are expanding 20 more acres to 124 acres, getting pigs next week to gley some ponds and expand the meat selection. Even got goose eggs already dropping and I'm incubating them!

Been dealing with building my LGD (livestock guardian dog) a house, putting fence up and expanding the ranch here.
Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Originally Posted by _Weldman_ Forewarning if you get one the cable tends to twist up after awhile and the light hook/pulley that comes with it makes it worse. Put a heavier pulley or switch the cable out to prevent it from twisting up into a rats nest as you spool it out. Just sayin' A crane has a heavy weight near the hook to keep the cable straight.

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Yep. A sudden release of tension or the load makes things get interesting.
Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Originally Posted by psacustomcreations It sounds like the cable may be either unwrapping or tightening is wrap due to the load. We have that happen sometimes on our spiral wound diving umbilicals and I have seen it happen on some rope like the old school green three strand rappelling rope we used to use in the Army. I believe it's tightening due to it's load. Rated for 880 lbs on the lift and I have went up to 700 lbs, but I wouldn't push it due to the cable looks too thin and weak. Rather put a synthetic rope on it for my situation as we all know what happens when you take tension off a cable winch wound up, cable goes every which way. Might put some 850 para cord on it for grins or 1/4" shock cord.

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Man I like that lift
Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop [QUOTE=shortfuse;9029293][QUOTE=_Weldman_;9029199]The lift that got all appliances up, furniture, building materials, front door and then some. I believe that will work!! Missed that one somehow, my bad It's fine, I got it in the archive and we all get busy in life. No way one could get a fridge up here on just a ladder, there is no stairs yet much less a washer and dry. Originally Posted by davec I do love the name "Bindominium"!

Re: Operation: Pole barn/shop Originally Posted by shortfuse As right now it's hauling 5 gallon jugs up the lift for running water. ===>>motorized boat winch or equiv. The lift that got all appliances up, furniture, building materials, front door and then some. Originally Posted by N2 Welding You did not link your latest vid here. Hmm.. .. . Figured everyone already seen all the pictures, but if you insist... Originally Posted by whtbaron That explains the water going up, but I was looking at those exposed drains coming down. What goes up, must come down... Going to wrap the drain pipes too, I'm pretty sure the sliver of water left behind will freeze out here over and over till it built up ice blocking everything up.
