Finally starting... let the adventure begin.

ericc , his method is right on. In the 70'S ,when you could still obtain a permit, dad and I cleared the stumps for the cabin that exact way. the most we used was two sticks of 60 percent on a douglas fir stump that was three feet in diameter. It didn't throw any dirt . The stump jumped a foot or so ,then we just pulled them off with the jeep. Now days the excavator is probably the best chose. Please keep us up dated on the shop
 
Well that stinks. Have settled on price and layout, and asked the contractor when he could start. He says they have a 24 week lead time right now. Not until APRIL!!! :frown 2:
 
And that's how shop builds become 18 month projects. Look at the bright side- you won't be pouring concrete onto saturated, frozen ground.
 
Yep. Had this silly notion that if they poured it in the next couple of weeks it would still be warm enough - still running 70's to 80 during the day even now. But the fastes I could find was a guy who said 10 weeks... that would put it in mid January. Oh well. Pleanty of other projects to work on.
 
Not hardly. Have the site cleared, but they won't start construction till April. (Looks for thumb twiddling gif...)
 
Well bummer. I was somewhat joshing you, but still hoping that you were going to answer with... "Oh yeah, forgot to update this thread."
 
Yeah, but there are lots of other projects on the Farm. All in all, its probably best to be focussed on them anyhow. I have a half mile of fence to get put up, several burn piles that need to be take care of, a duck pen that needs siding and a roof.... and that's just off the top of my head. Tomorrow will be harvesting and cleaning a couple of Muscovy drakes for Thanksgiving dinner. Never a pleasant task, but needs to be done, and I've been putting it off.

Mean while I read and try to decide what will go inside the shop when it's done...
 
I feel your pain. I am over the year mark myself. Partly because of mother nature and partly because I hired the slowest crew ever.
