time to stop struggling, so it seems! You having a decent under ground, me getting a decent engine hoist, getting fed up of using my neighbours Valtra tractor in the mud

All coming together now nicely!

Build a timber shed around it, like I did. Temporary structure in Ireland, no planning permission needed. Nobody knows it's here anyway, hidden in the trees. Too bad it's not that simple in the UK as far as I know. But the 'tent', is a good idea!

YOLO.....ooooo look at you Jaap getting all down with the kids!!!!
I would just build something around the hard standing Paul. As long as it is temporary, you can knock it down if needs be. Mind you the farm is right out the way, so I cant see it being an issue with neighbors for example.
Go for it!

It is for me really. I was lucky enough when i lived in a caravan here at this place i got very good mates with my landlord before i moved in with my wife.. he got rid of the caravan but while i was here i filled up four sheds with stuff and had nowhere to move it too.
So i always did my work on this spot all the years and we struck i deal for me to keep my cars carry on with projects etc.
So the chance to make a base for my hoist came so i went for it FOC too...

Good work Paul

Having seen your place in the winter I reckon you'll find those slabs a real boon..
Shame you can't pave the whole place...
