Lyle,

Looks like you need a real good rain to get rid of the mud.

Don't know anything about the conditions up there- would about 4 inches of gravel do any good? Or just get swallowed up by the mud? Or would that be prohibitively expensive?

yep, gravel will help but cant do anything untill its dry

Looks to me like you need a whole boat-load of kitty litter to soak
that up.

A few days of hot sun would do the trick :wink:

If you can wait a couple months for the hot sun! It
was snowing in Edmonton earlier today. This so
called spring weather sucks!

What I can not believe is that Red Neck Siding ( plastic ) is still in such good shape. Around here it would have been shredded in about 2 days.

Around here the Dept of Environmental "Protection" would shut you down and take your checkbook for mud like that.

Spread some saw dust over it or come by my job and get all the brick, block, and asphalt you want.

Down here in similar mud making soil, you need to put down a good base before the gravel. Otherwise it will do as some said, disappear into the dirt.

Trying to get anything done in that environment can really be frustrating. Hat goes off to the crews.

So are they building a barn...the thing with the plastic on the side or something in addition?

I used the good stuff..lol

Yes the mud is very fustrating but it eventually turns to cement..lol I worked in it all my life and know how to deal with it.
The building is my sawmill shed, hopefully I get it completed before next winter. I am basicly doing all this by myself so things take a little time.

Lyle;

LOL, I'll swap you a couple of days of hot desert
sun if you'll send me a few tons of that good, rich
topsoil. Get my ground here in Southern Nevada that
wet and it turns into sticky, gumbo mud, & you best
be wearing hip-waders. I've got 24 inches of red
clay over thousands of feet of white caliche clay.

Just get a bunch of hogs, now. Looks like you've got a good mud waller for them......

Texasmark1 · Apr 21, 2013

Well sir, hats off to you. On getting things done slowly, wife, kids,
and I built our house when I was 35. Surely couldn't do it today.
