Good afternoon folks
Easy day today, I'm dropping stuff off at the auction instead of picking up. Get to compare wasp stings with Siggurd as he got stung also.

They took down the grain bin this morning so I started removing the in ground cement hopper pad Steve.


I had to use a steel beam to get the break in the concrete started, there`s some pretty big, ugly pieces here I`m trying to break up to save my gravel truck box floor.




It`s nice to sell once in a while instead of buying Perry. I hate wasps with a real passion.

With 4 generations of family working on it it didn`t take long, a grand father, his son, grand son and great grand son. I went to the same high school as did the grand father.
A bit more to cut but less time wasted going around that bin now.
With nothing interesting to be found in a 53-55 for sale around I`m certainly going to pick away at this 53, wish me luck. I did find another pick up box tucked away in my barn, it`s from a 57 and up but it`s in slightly better shape.

I just hope it gets to be a progression Steve, likely it`ll be a slow one at best. I`m pretty well half way thru this so no sense starting a build thread....if I did it wouldn`t be half as interesting as John`s.

Starting a build in the middle would still be okay Morris, after all you just got it back so it's technically a new project..
