World's Largest
Round Barn?

A giant round barn in Nebraska is the biggest in the world, according to people invoved with the structure. The Nebraska barn, in Red Cloud, tops out at 65 ft. high and 130 ft. in diameter. 
It was built for use as a farm barn. Built in 1902 and 1903, it housed a herd of Holstein cows, the feed they ate, and farm machinery. The barn had 3 levels totaling 40,000-sq. ft. of space. Hay was stored on the top level, grain and machinery on the middle level and livestock on the lower level. A brick silo in the center provided additional feed. The barn relies on tension and...

He Built His Own
Tree Planter

After planting 2,000 trees by hand, Billy Williams decided to find an easier way. He looked at the price of mechanical tree planters and then decided to build his own.

"They want $4,000 to $5,000 for a new one, and I knew I could build one for a lot less." says Williams. He used 1/4-in., 3 by 3-in. angle iron for the frame, including the 3-pt. hitch mount.

Build Your Own Cement Block Swimming Pool

Building your own swimming pool with cement blocks isn't hard, according to Darrell Buchholz. He built one for a friend, and now sells plans for others to do the same.

"I built a pool for myself using pressure treated wooden sidewalls, but I live in sandy soil, which is more forgiving for wood-based walls," says Buchholz. "A friend's mother wanted to put one in, but couldn't afford a commercial installation. I offered to do it for her. I took lots of photos and based my plans on it."
Buchholz says both the wood and concrete block pools are doing fine after several years of use. Liners will wear out and have to be replaced within 10 to 15 years. 

Since posting his plans for sale on his website and other sites like Gizmoplans.com, he has sold several hundred sets of plans. Plans can be downloaded... Read More
