    Good Luck! HA HA Getting the brother-in-law to come grade that area was smart! Remember when it rains hard, the runoff will most likely make under the shed a soggy mess, so after you have it built, get a couple of loads of crushed stone dropped off and fill under the shed with about 4 inches of it compacted, otherwise you will be working in a wet mess all the time! No sun can get to it to dry it out.
    And yes, get some 24 inch spikes, if they are not furnished and spike the bottom runners on both ends and between every vertical. Otherwise the first wind will pick it up and it will be a big pile of scrap metal!

    I always thought you might have a screw loose. With that many screws I might be right😂 Versa Tube was a good choice! We are currently in an all day steady rain here that was much needed! Looking forward to seeing the build progress 👊🏻

    That's great you have in house experience from a bro in law that can grade like that. I'm sure he'll steer ya right knowing his skills.👍 Enjoy the process Dan. The build just got ALOT easier with a flat start

    Great looking Carport. Should serve it Purpose once its done. Keep you out of the Elements for your wood processing. Can't wait to see it when its Finished Dan. I agree with you reaching out for assistance in leveling the area. See you at the next Video Sir. Ron from Duanesburg NY.

    Just a suggestion
    Back dragging like that will wear out the heal of the bucket
    What I've done on my tractors
    Was weld a 1,/2 " thick 4x4 angle to the back. From time to time
    I would run some weld beads if needed
