I just got a husqvarna572xp. That saw is a real cutter.

It comes stock with a 20 inch bar.  According to the book it will carry anything from an 18 to a 28.  I bought a 24 for it at the time I bought it.  I used the large one on a couple bigger trees just because I had it but the 20 would have been fine.  That saw is a cutting machine.  There was an offer when I bought it that if I bought a case of fuel, they would extend the factory warranty from 3 years to five so of course I did that.  I used 2 of the 6 cans the first day.

Lots of rain here today, chainsaws are really getting wet. Contractor spread some reject 1 1/2 minus rock around yesterday filling in a few large stump holes and also silt control if it started to rain.

Once I figure out the easement for the driveway and required setback distance we can apply for the permit to build. The contractor will be tasked with that as I don’t get along with people and stupid requests.

The blue one is neighbors across the driveway. Nothing was said about set backs from driveway when he built his garage That is part of the rub, is the easement 30ft 15 ft each side of property line. Or 30 ft all on my property, or just 15 ft total all on my property. My paperwork says except the south 15ft of described land. But the driveway is on  the north edge of property and the county isn’t sure, And I just want to build.

Nothing like red tape to take the excitement out of a project.

So, you trying to use your shop to help block the view of the neighbors place? Or just putting it where you have room to?

Even though this place is 2.5 acres it is only 100 ft. Wide and very long. The shop is 45x60, 10 ft setback from one side and either 15 or 30 ft easement plus whatever the county says for setback on the other side. Anyway, not trying to block any view just trying to find a spot for it where I can get a trailer backed into. If I set in across from his shop I can use his gravel area to swing the truck into.

The plans and permit applications are ready to be turned into the county but the county is 30 days out for accepting them. They will call within the next two weeks to schedule an appointment for plan review and turning in the application. And they wonder why people build stuff without permits.

Well, I do t remember if it was two or three April’s ago.
I called the city of Winnipeg about a kitchen Reno.
Still waiting. Glad I did the work...

On Shawns advice there will be a four post lift in the second bay. Contractor will dig out post locations for extra depth concrete in post areas.

Got an email from Mason county. My shop Permit is ready to be picked up. Only have to take money and sign off on conditions, whatever those happen to be
Then wait for the turn in line with the contractor for construction. Hope to have a four foot wall around the site to hold the bank and pipe the drainage out of the way by the time the construction starts but the area needs to dry out a bit first. Moving right along at snails pace.

Should have a retaining wall in place shortly. More for drainage than holding back dirt. Two feet of soil and roots and then yellow clay.  Next task is guessing what size pipe to set in behind the wall.

The clay bottom holds water very good, set up my small sump pump and pumped the water out.
Hope the ground dries out enough to support the mixer truck Friday.

The footings now have the wall forms sitting on them waiting on the mixer mid week. The footings and building stem walls should start end of next week. Nice to see things happening finally.

Dave, it has been so long since I have even seen the plans. It is just a shop with four bays. Two with 12x12 doors and two with 10x 10 doors. Nothing fancy or trick but will have a lift in one bay at the rear, always wanted one but never had the height.

Dave, what you see now is a retaining wall on two sides of the building pad. Water soaks down to the clay then runs out into the building pad. The wall and drainage behind it should take care of that problem.

Yup nature always ends up in first place. I have tried to just detour the water path a bit. Hopefully nature doesn’t mind a few more feet  on its way to the saltwater.
