Not a bad start for eyeballing it 👍 I'm sure the concrete guy you have coming in will appreciate it. I'm looking forward to seeing your plan come together.
Yea it’s turned out pretty go so far. I can do most things but getting grade perfect is not my thing. I could do it if I tried really hard and had the patients for it but I don’t. I’d rather someone else do that and get it done right and be way more efficient at it than me. But yeah can’t wait for that to get done and get things in their final resting place.
When I built my shop, I was going to build a 30x40, a buddy told me to build it as big as I can afford, so I went 40x50, its full!!! and I have never regretted having 16' side walls, but we did heavy equipment repair. That's going to be a great wood yard!
Yeah I know about always go bigger than you think you may need. I will see what my concrete guy says when he takes a look at it. I may end up going 30/35 wide. Not sure yet.
Yeah I’m thinking the same as well. I will see what my concrete guy thinks and what would be the best plan for that location. Excited to get this project underway.
Matt there’s a foundation square calculator it’s super easy to use. You need to put up badder boards. Find your one line that makes you happy. You need 2 preferably 100 ft tapes Pull 25 ft over from one corner pin. Then calculate cross diagonal ft. go to other pin pull from it to the 25 ft on other tape. When tapes meet with both numbers That’s your first corner squared. Repeat the process The 25 ft tape make it now your cross calculated distance. Pull to other end pull over 25 ft from that pin now there’s your other corner. All 4 corners squared now. 75 ft by 25 ft = 79ft 43/64 inches diagonal measurement. Double check my math. Having help holding tapes on stakes really helps pulling those distances. Great video. Hope that helps.
Yeah that all makes sense. We have decided to do 30by 70 at 6 inch. Waiting on the numbers now to see if I will do it all right now. I probably will. Times a ticking
Funny thing is it is and I do. I don’t always show everything we do on UA-cam. Some things I keep private and some things I want other people to figure out on there own.
@@Treestofirewood in the process of building a kiln myself and figuring out all that stuff as well. May have to pick your brain on some stuff if you don’t mind. Keep up the content!

@@TreestofirewoodI'm sure it will look and function great!
Yeah he looked at it today. 30x70 it is. 6inch think.
I agree with you on the 70 Ft length but 25 wide doesn't seem wide enough
Yeah I’m thinking the same as well. I will see what my concrete guy thinks and what would be the best plan for that location. Excited to get this project underway.
Thats a great start.. in my opinion you can never have enough concrete..
Yes I know. I don’t want to go overboard either. But I always know you will always run out of space. We will see what I end up doing.

Are you going to get your kiln certified so you could ship your wood everywhere?

@trinitylandscapingandexcav7965 I’m always willing to help. How big and what’s your heat source?
@@Treestofirewood were going to go with a 40 foot refrigerated container and I have a big top load boiler that I think will work pretty well.
@trinitylandscapingandexcav7965 nice yeah that should work out well.
