I’m on the Cotswolds and I agree, I think we got away it quite lightly compared to some parts of the country. One tree came down on the through road, but the farmer was out there clearing it all away really quickly. I think Sunday was our worst day, heavier rain and the wind went went round to the north which hammered the front of the house pretty hard. Haven’t had much rain since then.
More roof is better than concrete. Could you put a lean too off the big barn the tree team use for equipment? Along the yard side. Shallow wide sheds are better for kit than deep narrow sheds as the thing you want is always at the back.

@@tractorman810 I may end up putting kit in the big tin shed instead of the firewood, and put the logs in the new extension instead. Better ventilation and drying.
Beautiful rams of Sam, the vet. Cheeky too, particularly Big Horn on your right. No flies on you, Farmer P. Busy chatting away to us and fast on the draw to grab ram's headgear before he could butt you 😱😃
Could you not clean up the area down the side of your main shed/workshop (That second old cabin next to holy's kitchen running down to where the bale trailer is stored) and add a lean to roof down the length of the building. This would give you a place for machinery to be put under a roof without taking up potential cattle expansion space?
@@HughzieTube A nice idea, but financially impractical I’m afraid. When dad built that barn he didn’t plan for any extension, there is a 4’ + ground level fall from the North end to the South end of that barn. The brambles etc hide the tonnes of rubble made up ground used to level the floor. I would have to dig it all out, inside the shed as well, and install retaining walls. The cost o& all that would double the price for the project.
I am always distressed when I see a fortune in painted steel sitting around waiting for the next job.Hay gets nicely covered but implements sit out, but cost twice as much. Build your equipment shed as big as you possibly can. You will fill it to the edges.
It's interesting to know the Met Office and Government have everyone's mobile numbers to send a Red Warning alarm in emergencies. Gone are the days like in WW2. You had an air-raid siren and run for cover 😮
Hi there i was a video on TH-cam last night land and power and I thought of you as they had a jcb280 that I thought you would like to have a look at and merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all your family
Not a fan of woodchip but it works really well for your setup. So if it's New Barn extension or concrete I think the Barn is a better option. You already said you could use 50% more space so ticks a lot of boxes (except Mrs. P kitchen - think I have an old Primus if it helps 😹😹😹)
Although it would be nice to concrete the yards you've gone all these years without it, personally I would chalk them if you can get chalk in Gloucestershire we can get it pretty easy and cheaply in Sussex, if you do concrete the yards you will have the problem of slurry to deal with
First new kitchen for Mrs p first the new kitchen then maybe a couple of bays. We talked about it in the Sunday live first Mrs. P kitchen update. People the tree was removed by the neighbours. And who do you think just lifted a little branch and thought that is not as it should go.
@@MickHodgson-h1n They are Hungarian Raka sheep, apparently pronounced “Ratska” The big one who had a go is called Azriel, they are very tame and used to getting treats from Sam. I was out of favour because I had no grass nuts in my pocket. 😄
I am lucky that my wife is of the opinion there are never enough sheds BUT she also has the same opinion about horses!! 🙂😂😂🐎🐎 The only issue I have is end up building them 😂😂
Question sir now for argument sake u have the money, would you put up on the ends and sides the green barriers to help keep the rain water and snow out of the barn. Most or sum a roller system up and down for bad weather.
@@scottkrieger6386 I priced up roller wind barriers Scott, it’s not a cheap option. I think I would rather clad the sides and top of open ends with Yorkshire boarding, the same as the South yard. I think it would be better for ventilation and a lot nicer to look at
them two bays mrs p was on about you could have a gate in the back to get out to field behind it park tractor in that bit your right need a tidy up of yard though
Love the way your version of the Lombard poplar and the Funky Farmer's version differ. Especially the free food did not make your cut. Does Mrs P watch your videos. 😊😅😅😊😊
Dam sheep🤣🤣. I’d be tempted to put a lean too where you stacked the silage down the side of the barn. Make it just deep enough to put gear in and just high enough to drive the tractor under. Use the up rights of the barn to half the steel bill… just makes it a bit tight 🤷♂
@@casto- I considered that but the yards and drives are already a bit narrow. This won’t be the last building I put up, we already have future plans for more.
Hi Ian, I must say I do like the sheep 🐑 you are looking 👀 after I don’t like sheep but they look 👀 very nice, You are getting the same as us rain 🌧️ rain it’s enough to make you kiss the dog and kick the wife lol, 🐑🐑⭐️👍👌🎅🤶🎄🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
Personally I don’t understand why you put those barriers up like you have on the new shed…. 🤷♂️ Not calf proof, bails originally put on the outside, which imo there will be a lot of waste, thankfully you have put a ring feeder inside🙏👍…. Concrete naa don’t both! Put 1 1/2 bays up with Yorkshire boarding up all around and fit calf proof barriers 😂

As an arborist Ian you may be interested to know that Darragh is an old Irish term for Oak. Glad you escaped lightly.

I hope you gave biskit her treat and thank you for your blog
After that display at about the 20 min mark of Biskit trying to get into the skid steer, I think Biskit better lay of the treats for a while.

So you have to think of how high your new tractor will be..😊😊😊 and that everything get it's own place..so you don't have to move it 4 times in a year
More Barn space is definitly a good idea

Put a couple bays on the blue hay shed. Free up space in the others for machinery.
As I said before , make your farm tools in such a way that you can pick them up with the forks and place them one above the other to gain place

Evening Ian
Although it would be nice to concrete the yards you've gone all these years without it, personally I would chalk them if you can get chalk in Gloucestershire we can get it pretty easy and cheaply in Sussex, if you do concrete the yards you will have the problem of slurry to deal with
Why not buy some sheets to cover the mower etc etc ? (As this now 10 days after the filming is there any point in commenting )
Just an idea how about a green house type building cloth covering that can be taken down if the light bulb goes off down the road on a different plan🤔
👋😊
First new kitchen for Mrs p first the new kitchen then maybe a couple of bays. We talked about it in the Sunday live first Mrs. P kitchen update. People the tree was removed by the neighbours. And who do you think just lifted a little branch and thought that is not as it should go.

If I had to choose, I'd rather have the roof than the concrete floor.
@@Benzelf Me too Ben.
If you’re not too careful, Ian, you’re whole yard’s going to be under an awning.
Not that it’d be a bad idea, mind you.

Would there be any milage in a lean to along the side of the big barn?
@@andythewelder6181 We thought about it, but it would significantly narrow the access yard.

More sheds is good plan but where best to put them is the problem cause I suspect the other farm could do with one two and these all cost money
