That is a nice start.  Always good to have a place to work where the rain is off your head.   ;D

Very nice!

We have two of those at work to hold our pallets in out of the weather. Recently boxed the sides in using the same pattern panels.

Looks nice to me.  I may be hunting one of those carports soon, since I'm fixing up the old tractor now I'll need a place for it to be covered, so might as well get one big enough for both of them.

Nice carport. Deffinately beats working in the rain. Down the road you can get the side for that and some "crush and run" or 57's and prep it for concrete.

Good deal! You should build a retaining wall and put some curtain drains around it with some process down and pack it good.

ok for the past few days i have been shoveling mud off the bank all it has done here is RAIN and there is a big mud hole under my truck  so i have been shoveling mud and shoveling and i found a big rock that goes from one end to the other so i am going to drill it out and build a wall out of 6x6s around the carport and that should take care of that then i need to clean up my tools and parts and it is back to the truck and tear down until i can get concrete and close it in i will have pics of the progress
