Things are going good, my neighbor is amazing on his tractor. It's hard to tell in the pics, but that side needed 26" of fill!

Also, I needed good packed dirt in a hurry, so we just dug it up from my own yard! Way down the hill, but I'll have to fill it back in eventually. It's only about 30 feet long 20 feet wide, and 4 feet deep! Lol

I've got $8600 in this one so far, $7700 in the building, and around $900 in the two doors.

A couple pics from today. As you could tell from the other pics, the building had a decent gap around the bottom. I didn't want to build dirt up to the metal, so I put another band of treated 2x4 around the bottom, so I filled in about halfway up the 2x4 with dirt, then I'll put gravel up to the bottom of the metal. Also bought some rat guard. Hopefully I'll get that on tomorrow.

What's up y'all! I haven't posted in a while. It's been a long cold winter, but I've been getting a few things done. I put a French drain along the whole side of the building, and got my floor drain set up at the same time. Had a 50 tons of dense grade delivered and did inside the building, and made a new driveway. Also, been getting a lot of grass growing. And now I have 25 tons of #57, getting the inside level and ready for concrete, also doing around the perimeter of the building. Concrete should be soon! Here's a couple pics!
