Tim I pray for you and your family. Heart problems are no joke. My father is in the hospital now recovering from a triple bypass surgery. Its a scary feeling but the good lord knows what he is doing. But do take care of yourself . We do love your vids
Tim God is good all the time. The wind at just the right time. It made it easier. Thanks for the videos. Love them. Take care of your health. We need you here. John in Missouri Valley Iowa
I'm glad you made note this was pre diagnosis, cause I was about to compare you to my dad with his COPD. He honestly doesn't know how to "take it easy" and I have to go save him at least twice a month cause he tries to do stuff he obviously can't anymore.
My 12 year old son, my 21 year old son and I put up a 10x10x8 Shelter Logic shed. It took about 4 hours. When I bought it I thought I could put it up in a couple of hours by myself, sure glad my sons volunteered to help.
Hoping your recovery is going smoothly and you are following doctors orders resting & healing. Wanting there to be many more Tractor Time with Tim videos in the future.
True friends are there for you when needed the most. Back in 1997 I was building a garage that was 24’ X 30’ with a 6/12 pitch, was just starting to work on laying the decking for the roofing when I accidentally stepped on a loose piece of plywood for the decking, sending me straight to the edge and off on to the ground. An ambulance was called, I was transported to the hospital, released a few hours later with a small fracture to my left elbow and a walking brace for my right leg/knee. The very next day there were 10 - 12 guys laying the plywood, trimming the edges, adding felt paper and shingles, and finishing the roof cap. Up till my accident I had the foundation done by a contractor, all the rest was done with help from family, building walls, sheathing them, setting rafters. Did I mention the 10 - 12 guys were from my work, I was a firefighter/EMT at the time, only on the job for a little over two and a half years, yes, the same guys were the ones who came to the site when I fell. Never asked for help with the roof, they just knew it needed to be done before winter set in. The following spring I was all healed up, finished with the doors, siding and all the details. I had many of opportunities to repay their gratitude by helping them with what ever I could do. Long story short, you just can’t find enough good friends or be a good friend in return.
I'm glad you have found your tiredness problem and hope you get fixed. My wife had a cath done in dec of 19 and had a valve replacement in early jan of 20. While the doctor was in there he fixed an aneurism. Talk about a close call. She is doing fine now. I hope all works out well tim.
You did good Tim! Thats a lot of tarp to be pulling over. As a wise man use to say, I`m pulling for ya we`re all in this together. Hope your feeling better, dont want to loose my favorite you -tuber!!!
What a job...... You have great friends and neighbors...... Sometimes instructions are meant for novices that may only put up one building in their life time. Crews that put those up for a living knows that the setup make the job go easier and faster. And professional crews makes the job look easy. When other novices watch this video, it will make their assembly go better. Experience is the best teacher. Thanks for sharing jobs like this.
Here in Quebec we install what we call ''tempo shelters''for our cars in the fall to protect them against snow and ice;when we install the top tarp we would wait for the wind to pick it up like in this video!
We did it the EXACT same way, only we didn’t have the basket. 2 of our guys were just in our bucket. When I saw the basket my thought was how safe it looked. It’s all perspective!!
I have a Shelter Logic I put it up in 2006 and it's still in good shape, I framed in the front and put doors on it, the zipper ended up breaking. Mine is smaller 32x14x12. I got the one with the 15 year cover.
Any job that gets done and no one gets hurt while doing it, is a good job! It may not have been done in a "text book" way, but it is done and it looks good. I've really enjoyed watching you do this. Wish I was closer so I could help. I hope you stay on the mend!
I had a shelterLogic tarp building , the tarp lasted several years but between wind , snow, uv light the tarp got holes in it where it ran over the metal framework .. This summer I removed the roof tarp and both ends , I boarded in the ends putting a double door in 1 end , and strapping the sides and installing steel roofing .. It is 10 times better than it was before ..
Never fails whenever you gotta do something that you don’t want wind for it always comes out of nowhere! Tim glad you listened to your body and are doing well now.
My brother was considering something like this for hay storage, then he realized he could find a lot of space in existing buildings if he cleaned up the old farm junk that has been accumulating for decades. For example, the odds of us ever needing a front mount cultivator again are pretty slim. :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim Yeah, I'm not actually sure what they did with that particular item. It may have just been moved outside for now. Or they may have taken it to an auction.
Also..... I’m sure you’re obviously done by now, but we had a heck of a time stretching ours over the ends as well. AND ours was probably half the size of yours. We found the warmer the sun was, the easier it stretched.
The farm next door has 2 similar buildings..but with 10 foot sidewalls..then the tarp shelter on top..they also have solid end walls with 14 ft overhead doors on each end . They did have one roof canvas fail one winter..heavy ice and snow that year..but was covered by warranty..overall the buildings are holding up well
That seemed tough. I never thought it was that hard to pull a tarp over this type of buildings. I was mediating between a french company for this type of shelters and some farmers in my country. As far as I can remember, the french company packed the tarp, so that you put it up on top of the building, unwrap it the long side and after that, the 2 sides drop off the side of the building.
You did a great job Tim! Especially because it's your first one. I've done 3 and the third one was a piece of cake. I did it by myself in 4 hours but it was only 12 ft wide by 20 ft long. I do believe what you said about the way the tarp is delivered all you have to do is roll it out next to the frame distinguishing which side to start from so tarp goes up in proper direction. Having it unfold as your lifting would cause less friction. Hope you're feeling better, take good care of yourself. Might have to minimize the cheeseburger delights a bit. I would think it will be a struggle because cheeseburgers are my favorite too and I wouldn't want to let them go. Nothing like a GREAT burger! Godspeed!
Seeing Bill leaning way out to pull the screws and get the strap over the pipe, I'd rent a lift ;) I won't need that for the little 10x17 "carport" I'm working on but I think the ends go on the same way as your big building so I've learned something immediately useful watching the video :D I wonder if the tarp pull would have been somewhat easier if both pipe sides were near the building so you didn't have to pull the "free" end all the way to the building. Which of you is tall enough to unzip those doors all the way? ;)
Yes, the wind was helping, here is where I would use leaf blowers to let the tarp ride on a cushion of air. Secondarily, use a tractor as a ancor/pulling partner to assist the pull of the weight over tubes.. 3rd Method, T-Post and ratchet come-a-longs, anchor in the dir and use the ratchet to pull them evenly.
Tim, you should have unrolled the canvas at the other side of the structure and used Johnny 1 to help pull the tarp over the frame, probably would have made it a lot easier. Nice shed though.
After seeing your old video cleaning the gutters I went out and got a water tote and removed the inner plastic liner and use that as my people basket. Bill was leaning out a bit too much lol made me nervous.
I got a comparable structure, though smaller (28' x 13' x 10') with the heaviest tarp option. I had no helpers, other than some trees, ropes and a come-along. To my surprise, I managed to get the job done solo.
As usual, an interesting and enjoyable video. Would have been good to see some close-ups of the various fixings (in this and the previous video in this series) - maybe you can include them in the next video? Hope you make a full recovery very soon.
I hope you are recovering well! Having gone through the process of putting up such a building, do you think the canvas will hold up to Eastern Maine winters? I have been considering putting up a similar building to hold hay. I'm worried that it will only last a couple years before the canvas begins to fail. I'm not as worried about taxes being raised. I have also considered using tin instead of canvas. I understand your reasoning for canvas. I just don't know what your winters are like. It's cool to see that many people working in concert! With will, there is a way!
I do kinda wonder at times "That warning label on lawnmowers that say do not put your foot here" How many people did that before they had to put a warning label on it. PEOPLE USE COMMON SENSE.
I found that my 10 x 12 was folded in a way to put the whole roll on center ridge then let it unroll to the ends and unfold down the sides. I can tell you I likely will not ever buy another shelter logic. There are solid buildings with taught stretch material used on farms that are much higher quality. They even use them for big buildings now. Cost is higher, but not like a permanent structure. Also, I plan to use shipping containers for walls. Lockable storage and cheap.
@@monicamarino2122 I agree, I look at longevity and property values. I had 40x94 with 6" floor put up a few years ago. It's permanent cant move it or take it with me and adds to value of my real estate yearly unlike a tent.
One or two High Reach lifts and if you had folded back and forth in four or five foot wide the bottom you wouldn't have had so much drag. Also maybe two people with poles to help push up 8 or 10 ft long. Hindsight's 20/20 I know just my observation
A few years ago, I was nominated to remove the American flags from all the utility poles going down the main street in our town. Flags are the job of our Sons of the American Legion. One of the guys (now deceased) owned an excavation company. He chained scaffolding to the bucket of his backhoe. I rode in the top of it all the way up the road and removed, rolled, and stacked every flag. I was high enough to see in the second story windows of the buildings as we passed by. He simply drove up to every pole and lifted me into position to reach over and grab the flags. Some folks were not happy that we were slowing the flow of traffic, but we didn't care! I'm very afraid of heights, but no one else was available. I still had a great time and would do it again if he was still around. Others, I might not trust as much. I should have mentioned this earlier as it might have helped you.
Had you laid the tarp in a concertina fold at the edge of your construction it would have been much easier to pull over. You were always against it as you were trying to overcome the friction caused primarily by the tarps weight against the ground. Nevertheless, a good job. By the way, stents are great for improving blood flow ans this I know as I have three in a coronary artery. My health and fitness was much improved, over time, as a result. Take care young man!
