Hope you have continued success with treatment for the blockage.

True friends are there for you when needed the most. Back in 1997 I was building a garage that was 24’ X 30’ with a 6/12 pitch, was just starting to work on laying the decking for the roofing when I accidentally stepped on a loose piece of plywood for the decking, sending me straight to the edge and off on to the ground. An ambulance was called, I was transported to the hospital, released a few hours later with a small fracture to my left elbow and a walking brace for my right leg/knee. The very next day there were 10 - 12 guys laying the plywood, trimming the edges, adding felt paper and shingles, and finishing the roof cap. Up till my accident I had the foundation done by a contractor, all the rest was done with help from family, building walls, sheathing them, setting rafters. Did I mention the 10 - 12 guys were from my work, I was a firefighter/EMT at the time, only on the job for a little over two and a half years, yes, the same guys were the ones who came to the site when I fell. Never asked for help with the roof, they just knew it needed to be done before winter set in. The following spring I was all healed up, finished with the doors, siding and all the details. I had many of opportunities to repay their gratitude by helping them with what ever I could do. Long story short, you just can’t find enough good friends or be a good friend in return.

Hoping your recovery is going smoothly and you are following doctors orders resting & healing. Wanting there to be many more Tractor Time with Tim videos in the future.

glad to hear you are getting back close to normal,remember a friend in need is a friend in deed!

Leaf blowers work great for floating it .

I'm glad you have found your tiredness problem and hope you get fixed. My wife had a cath done in dec of 19 and had a valve replacement in early jan of 20. While the doctor was in there he fixed an aneurism. Talk about a close call. She is doing fine now. I hope all works out well tim.

Whoever thought I would get so much enjoyment out of watching someone put up a fabric building!

Looks like the Giant Twinkie is really coming together. This has a lot more space in the side walls then I expected. Good work to everyone.

You did good Tim! Thats a lot of tarp to be pulling over. As a wise man use to say, I`m pulling for ya we`re all in this together. Hope your feeling better, dont want to loose my favorite you -tuber!!!

you are very blessed to have friends that are willing to jump in and take direction on a project and are commited to get it all done.

Getting air under the tarp is the secret. Kinda like when the grounds crew pulls the tarp over a baseball field. Next time try a leaf blower?

Tim God is good all the time. The wind at just the right time. It made it easier. Thanks for the videos. Love them. Take care of your health. We need you here. John in Missouri Valley Iowa

I had a shelterLogic tarp building , the tarp lasted several years but between wind , snow, uv light the tarp got holes in it where it ran over the metal framework .. This summer I removed the roof tarp and both ends , I boarded in the ends putting a double door in 1 end , and strapping the sides and installing steel roofing .. It is 10 times better than it was before ..

My 12 year old son, my 21 year old son and I put up a 10x10x8 Shelter Logic shed. It took about 4 hours. When I bought it I thought I could put it up in a couple of hours by myself, sure glad my sons volunteered to help.

Project is looking good. Don't overdo yourself be patient and you'll be back to your old self in no time. Thanks for sharing

Tim I pray for you and your family. Heart problems are no joke. My father is in the hospital now recovering from a triple bypass surgery. Its a scary feeling but the good lord knows what he is doing. But do take care of yourself . We do love your vids

We did it the EXACT same way, only we didn’t have the basket. 2 of our guys were just in our bucket. When I saw the basket my thought was how safe it looked. It’s all perspective!!

What a project. Great to have friends!

What a job...... You have great friends and neighbors...... Sometimes instructions are meant for novices that may only put up one building in their life time. Crews that put those up for a living knows that the setup make the job go easier and faster. And professional crews makes the job look easy. When other novices watch this video, it will make their assembly go better. Experience is the best teacher. Thanks for sharing jobs like this.

Your friends earned an A-plus!!! I'm glad you made it through that with your heart issue.

Never fails whenever you gotta do something that you don’t want wind for it always comes out of nowhere! Tim glad you listened to your body and are doing well now.

Tim, I'm impressed with that accomplishment! Nothing easy about it. Good to have friends who are willing to help! Be careful!

I have a Shelter Logic I put it up in 2006 and it's still in good shape, I framed in the front and put doors on it, the zipper ended up breaking. Mine is smaller 32x14x12. I got the one with the 15 year cover.

Wow what a project 👏 Take care of that ❤

I'm glad you made note this was pre diagnosis, cause I was about to compare you to my dad with his COPD. He honestly doesn't know how to "take it easy" and I have to go save him at least twice a month cause he tries to do stuff he obviously can't anymore.

That wind was a gift from the lord!!

Any job that gets done and no one gets hurt while doing it, is a good job! It may not have been done in a "text book" way, but it is done and it looks good. I've really enjoyed watching you do this. Wish I was closer so I could help. I hope you stay on the mend!

The farm next door has 2 similar buildings..but with 10 foot sidewalls..then the tarp shelter on top..they also have solid end walls with 14 ft overhead doors on each end . They did have one roof canvas fail one winter..heavy ice and snow that year..but was covered by warranty..overall the buildings are holding up well

Great Job! Tim so nice to have a group of friends to work with. Take care and God Bless.

Good friends are worth their weight in gold you’re lucky in your lifetime I have a couple true friends

Many hands make light work! Your new structure is really coming together and looking great! God bless y’all!

Tim, your shelter is coming together and it looks really good.

My brother was considering something like this for hay storage, then he realized he could find a lot of space in existing buildings if he cleaned up the old farm junk that has been accumulating for decades. For example, the odds of us ever needing a front mount cultivator again are pretty slim. :-)

Nice strong tent garage guys 💪. AWESOME job

Another Great Episode Of Tractor Time With Tim !

Different looking structure for sure - Tim, glad you got a handle on the heart issue. God Bless and continued good health sir.

Also..... I’m sure you’re obviously done by now, but we had a heck of a time stretching ours over the ends as well. AND ours was probably half the size of yours. We found the warmer the sun was, the easier it stretched.

Here in Quebec we install what we call ''tempo shelters''for our cars in the fall to protect them against snow and ice;when we install the top tarp we would wait for the wind to pick it up like in this video!

Nice!

Hi Tim and Christy nice work the whole team played a blinder its looking good

I’m impressed great job!

Job 👍

Great stuff, hopefully all is well!!!!!

Looking good! Thank goodness for great friends that share the load. Next question...is the old adage true?...”I should have made it bigger””. 😉

Yes, the wind was helping, here is where I would use leaf blowers to let the tarp ride on a cushion of air. Secondarily, use a tractor as a ancor/pulling partner to assist the pull of the weight over tubes.. 3rd Method, T-Post and ratchet come-a-longs, anchor in the dir and use the ratchet to pull them evenly.

I agree with your comments on safety. I feel much more safe and comfortable in a basket on my tractor than being up on top of a ladder!!

Great job getting the ends and cover on! The breeze helped a little reducing some of the dragging resistance.

When it was shown from the side, then I could see how big it really is. Wow!

That seemed tough. I never thought it was that hard to pull a tarp over this type of buildings. I was mediating between a french company for this type of shelters and some farmers in my country. As far as I can remember, the french company packed the tarp, so that you put it up on top of the building, unwrap it the long side and after that, the 2 sides drop off the side of the building.

You did a great job Tim! Especially because it's your first one. I've done 3 and the third one was a piece of cake. I did it by myself in 4 hours but it was only 12 ft wide by 20 ft long. I do believe what you said about the way the tarp is delivered all you have to do is roll it out next to the frame distinguishing which side to start from so tarp goes up in proper direction. Having it unfold as your lifting would cause less friction. Hope you're feeling better, take good care of yourself. Might have to minimize the cheeseburger delights a bit. I would think it will be a struggle because cheeseburgers are my favorite too and I wouldn't want to let them go. Nothing like a GREAT burger! Godspeed!

Great job and video tim and kristie and the rest 💪💪

Hope your feeling better Tim. 😁

This video gives me a renewed appreciation for how hard the little people worked to tie Lemuel Gulliver to the ground.

The cat had good sense and ran away from the work group! Wow what a task !

Tim and crew good job things look easier then it actually is God Bless All PAK

I got a comparable structure, though smaller (28' x 13' x 10') with the heaviest tarp option. I had no helpers, other than some trees, ropes and a come-along. To my surprise, I managed to get the job done solo.

As usual, an interesting and enjoyable video. Would have been good to see some close-ups of the various fixings (in this and the previous video in this series) - maybe you can include them in the next video? Hope you make a full recovery very soon.

After seeing your old video cleaning the gutters I went out and got a water tote and removed the inner plastic liner and use that as my people basket. Bill was leaning out a bit too much lol made me nervous.

I hope you plan on putting Vents in the ends and a tarp on the floor and tie it up the ends, or wind will rip it apart.. Experience speaking..

That sounds like a good idea for you to wait for another time, and get extra help to get it done.

Interested in seeing how that holds up in weather

You just gave anyone who wants to put up a canvas building a video instruction on what not to do. Lol! Great work.

Adventures with Bill from the Red Green show.

Loving the series.

sad that you have to tell people that they are liable for there own choices haha

Good job staying with it! I think you owe them a cheeseburger (or three) LOL

I found that my 10 x 12 was folded in a way to put the whole roll on center ridge then let it unroll to the ends and unfold down the sides. I can tell you I likely will not ever buy another shelter logic. There are solid buildings with taught stretch material used on farms that are much higher quality. They even use them for big buildings now. Cost is higher, but not like a permanent structure. Also, I plan to use shipping containers for walls. Lockable storage and cheap.

Tim, you should have unrolled the canvas at the other side of the structure and used Johnny 1 to help pull the tarp over the frame, probably would have made it a lot easier. Nice shed though.

Now that you're on the mend and experienced in shelterlogic construction maybe the 6 of you could roadtrip to Pa to put one up for me...

One or two High Reach lifts and if you had folded back and forth in four or five foot wide the bottom you wouldn't have had so much drag. Also maybe two people with poles to help push up 8 or 10 ft long. Hindsight's 20/20 I know just my observation

Tim I just got out of math and am watching this during lunch, I can’t take anymore. Lol

A lot of work. Definitely need a good crew

Looks good so far Sir. Please let us know how it turned out. Hope your ticker is ticking better. God Bless.

good job

I do kinda wonder at times "That warning label on lawnmowers that say do not put your foot here" How many people did that before they had to put a warning label on it. PEOPLE USE COMMON SENSE.

I hope walking on the tarp with gravel underneath don't start holes.

Seeing Bill leaning way out to pull the screws and get the strap over the pipe, I'd rent a lift ;) I won't need that for the little 10x17 "carport" I'm working on but I think the ends go on the same way as your big building so I've learned something immediately useful watching the video :D I wonder if the tarp pull would have been somewhat easier if both pipe sides were near the building so you didn't have to pull the "free" end all the way to the building. Which of you is tall enough to unzip those doors all the way? ;)

Should use the tractor or a winch.

You also mentioned it was easier when the wind picked up you had five people that could have blew from the other side

the laziness in me would have used every bit of rope I had, or bought more, and tried to tie onto the 3 Deeres and Ventrac to do the pulling.. This is TRACTOR time with Time after all, not muscle time with Time.. ;). I'm very glad you found the blockage and got treated. Hopefully the recovery is treating you well and you will be back to 100% soon.

I'd really like to know more about the basket you're using as a work platform!

the dude in the yellow shirt. that's funny

I hope you are recovering well! Having gone through the process of putting up such a building, do you think the canvas will hold up to Eastern Maine winters? I have been considering putting up a similar building to hold hay. I'm worried that it will only last a couple years before the canvas begins to fail. I'm not as worried about taxes being raised. I have also considered using tin instead of canvas. I understand your reasoning for canvas. I just don't know what your winters are like. It's cool to see that many people working in concert! With will, there is a way!

ShelterLogic would have been smart to send a crew to set it up. Use you to make an assembly video.

A few years ago, I was nominated to remove the American flags from all the utility poles going down the main street in our town. Flags are the job of our Sons of the American Legion. One of the guys (now deceased) owned an excavation company. He chained scaffolding to the bucket of his backhoe. I rode in the top of it all the way up the road and removed, rolled, and stacked every flag. I was high enough to see in the second story windows of the buildings as we passed by. He simply drove up to every pole and lifted me into position to reach over and grab the flags. Some folks were not happy that we were slowing the flow of traffic, but we didn't care! I'm very afraid of heights, but no one else was available. I still had a great time and would do it again if he was still around. Others, I might not trust as much. I should have mentioned this earlier as it might have helped you.

Had you laid the tarp in a concertina fold at the edge of your construction it would have been much easier to pull over. You were always against it as you were trying to overcome the friction caused primarily by the tarps weight against the ground. Nevertheless, a good job. By the way, stents are great for improving blood flow ans this I know as I have three in a coronary artery. My health and fitness was much improved, over time, as a result. Take care young man!

Tie the canvas to your little tractor and pull it.

How are you feeling after your sten in

TTWT GETTING IT DONE THE HARD WAY BUT GOT IT DONE THAT'S WHAT COUNTS STEP ONE THROW AWAY INSTRUCTIONS 2 APPLY SILICONE SPRAY TO POLE RIDGES 3 ATTACH ALL ROPES TO A PULLEY SYSTEM 4PULL WITH TRACTOR JUST A THOUGHT HAVE A DAY LOVE FROM TEXAS

Tim Why didn’t you go with the exterior being sheet-metal?

I had my tarp over the ends for about 2 months, then I look one day and one end in the top center is now inside about a foot and lets the rain in. 🤨

hows it holding up so far

I like the plastic bucket on your pallet forks. Where did you find it?

Good job and thank the Lord for good friends. What is the basket called, and where did you purchase it. Bob

GOD was helping you by the wind

How Much would a company have charged to put this thing up? How long will that material last?

👍

Safety tip : when standing by your pine trees. Wear a safety helmet just in case a pine cone falls and hit you in the head.

The company that you bought it from they should have a KZfaq channel showing you how to put it up or some type of video

How the building holding up?
