If I had planned ahead well, then instead of having two 12 x 12 buildings, I would have one 12 x 24. But these things don't always work out that way.<br /><br />In reference to the chicken project, my plan is to post an update tomorrow, as the eggs will be 16 days complete. So, you might say we are in the final trimester.<br /><br />See ya,<br /><br />Frank<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-74227172896199307182014-03-03T10:49:41.232-06:002014-03-03T10:49:41.232-06:00Pamela,

And in the post you noticed, I helped move the building with the front end loader. Then after the ground was solidly compacted, I re-tilled the garden.<br /><br />I don't use this little tractor a great deal, but when I do use it, it is a major back saver. I'm also not known for maintenance of mechanical items. So, I would highly recommend this tractor to anyone.<br /><br />A different issue. I support buy American any chance I can. And, yes, Kubota is made in Japan. But all small tractors are made in foreign countries, even John Deere is made in India. So that is why my little tractor is orange.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br /><br />Frank<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-86209994714616948232014-03-03T10:43:04.511-06:002014-03-03T10:43:04.511-06:00Kathi,

It was just one of those days where it seemed to work for me, and I came away from it with only two nail puncture wounds, which were very minor.<br /><br />Frank<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-10468160945926510412014-03-03T10:40:41.025-06:002014-03-03T10:40:41.025-06:00Felecia,

It was neat to watch them use it.
