Toy box layout
The building permit was closed May 8. My brother in law had 11 steel skids 40" x 96". Adding 1/2" reclaimed plywood to the bases made stacking tractors possible.
Tomorrow should see all of the skids loaded across the back wall.

Congrats on closing the permit for the "Toy Box" !
That certainly looks like efficient storage for a tractor collection

Re: Toy box layout
Loading up the back wall today. Lots of blanks to fill in. Starting to see grass in the back yard again.

Re: Toy box layout
I am seriously envious of your "wall of tractors" - You are well on your way to a Colt/Case/Ingersoll Museum
All you need is the gift shop on the way out

Pic reminded me of a Carvana auto vending machine. Spike yours is a Casevana.

Efficient and great looking! I don't think I've seen something so cool in quite a while.

Re: Toy box layout
Yard clean up keeps getting slowed down by making new projects. For instance, diverting items destined for scrap into useful items. A prime example is finding two pieces of H beam and seeing them as base for outdoor storage rack. The the racking was also destined for scrap is it had been hacked up by a previous owner. The beams and racking were left over from a rushed plant clean up. They were brought home until there was enough volume to send to shred. Now it is part of an outdoor rack system.

Re: Toy box layout
The derelict wheelbarrow should have been thrown away. But I had some scrap plywood and went down a rabbit hole. the finished product seems to be more functional than a standard wheelbarrow.

Someone once said, “anything you conceive and believe you can achieve.” Spike you have proven that to be true.
