The Last of the Meaties are gone: Looking Forward

[andisgarden]

Big Red, We used your tractor and reproduced it with one modification, the roof has a bit of an angle so the water will run off a little easier. In OK we have had tons of rain lately and I don't want the water to sit on top. I will post a pic later once I paint it. I am so excited my husband did a great job. I think it was a family effort since we all held the wood and stretched the wire, etc...

Congrats on the tractor! I thought about putting a pitch on the roof, but it rarely is setting level, so the water runs off which ever way it's leaning. Can't wait to see your pics.

I just bought a big pile of 2x2s in prep for building the bigred tractor this week.

A pitch on the roof is a good idea. Is that some sort of 1/4" laminate on the solid end?

No it's 3/8" plywood that is painted. Plywood is good for insulating, but it adds weight. My second version has steel siding on the sides instead of the plywood.

I used white vinyl siding on the sides, corrugated tin on the roof.
