Looking for some advice, thoughts, suggestions, etc....My dad has a Lester hog finishing building with a 8' pit, sitting empty for the past 10-12 years. Too small nowadays for the hog farmers around SE Minnesota. The east side slopes down below the pit level into a permanent pasture. A suggestion to us was to convert the finishing barn into a machine shed by digging out the middle section of the east pit wall that levels out to the pasture. Put in an overhead door and some new lights and have a new storage/machine shed. The building is 40x60, slatted floor, a foot or so of sludge at the bottom of the pit...so there is a bit of clean up and take the cement slats out of the floor, hot power wash the walls and floor of the pit, seal/paint the walls and floor of the pit, put in a new overhead door, and landscaping.
Has anyone tackled such a project? Suggestions? Best practices, tips, or tricks?
