A bobcat is your friend when it comes time for a coal delivery. Considering you will be saving about 50% on your heating costs, a few bags of grass seed shouldn't blow the budget.

My new "Coal Barn" was out in the woods nestled between the trees like it was always there. Now the new dirt ramp with field stone as the retaining wall almost complete it is almost perfect who would of thunk we needed all of this but when it is done it is done, and the house is soo warm 
Nice job enjoy the heat the details will work themselves out.

A big "Thank you" to http://nepacrossroads.com/member/VigIIPeaBurner/ for taking the time to build a nice coal bin for me, now I am faced with the task of clearing some of the rubble and junk out of the barn so I can tuck that bin in there--somewhere.

Thanks for the complement on the truck. It's getting there, still have more work to do on it as time and money permits. I need to find a junk XLT for the interior and upgraded outside trim.

What do you think about these for coal bins? 12' x 12'. I think they would be cool. Any inputs?

George,
Pretty cool but you'd need some baffling and a way to access the coal without spilling allot out.
