Moderators please move if this is in the wrong place!
Anyone looking for a new home with a proper toybox?
Promised myself a 'toybox' when I had space to build it but now moving after medical retirement so... here goes:
55' x 25' (17m x 7.5m & 3m to eaves) portal framed barn; 100A mains power, water & soil pipe connected to private drainage installed. When building this I took out 100 tons of soil to get a decent level & added in 75 tons of scalpings & shook on a 6-ton roller for 2 days to compact down. Bounced the JCB off bedrock when digging portal footings (so no movement here). Plastisol coated box profile walls & roof (10' at eaves, 12' at apex) with insulated roof (equivalent to 3" celotex). When I built it, I knew it would be several years before I needed to move my wife's Chevy project, so I drove it in & built the end wall behind it (have all the steel for the door frame ready to install)
Approx 30' x 30' parking in front of barn (enough for serious American Caravan & Landcruiser) - behind 13' farm gate. Now for the expensive bit - 4 bedroom bungalow alongside (parking for another 5 or 6 cars too!) - whole plot is approx 3/4 acre, roughly 1/2 way between Ross on Wye & Hereford, off the A49.

Anyone interested? If I have to sell to someone boring, Barn may be available - if I don't strip it & take it with me.
Apologies if this is out of order - not intended. (PS - Larry's Rules).
