Progress with a delay
We started the pad for my shop and house, it was looking good until we were 2-2 1/2 feet deep just to find some clay to build on. As it sits now it will take about fourty dump truck loads to raise the pad up like I need. I could get some fill, but it would cost 100-150 a load. So I am going to wait until my soybeans are harvested and haul some in with a scraper behind one of the tractors. Save myself about six thousand dollars, but it will put me farther behind. Hopefully I will be able to get it all enclosed before Winter really sets in. Just remembered if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Ha ha

 Crap...not a good way to start the project! Hopefully it will all come together much easier once you get over this hurdle.

 Was wondering how the project was going.

I should have them out in about a month. I will be getting a late start, but with my Amish buddies we will have it enclosed in 3-4 days if the weather cooperates.

 Sorry about that Big! Always a reason for everything though - and as you say, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right"! Still, will be amazing when you have it all up and running!

Ha ha really it is a good problem to have, most soil around here doesn't have a quarter of the top soil I have. As far as land values go, it means my ground is worth more than most.😁 A small delay but it probably adds 75-100 thousand dollars worth to the value.
