Been building a carport for a customer this week working until 1 or 2. Then going to hayfield and cut hay Mon and Tues. Got a light sprinkle on field yesterday so planned to bale today. After fixing a couple issues on baler and greasing it and hooking it to truck we remembered that our ford 640 was running rough. Thats our tedder-rake tractor. Cleaned carb. Cleaned plugs. Gapped plugs and points. Its good now. Hooked up tedder-rake combination and loaded it.... Realized we were beat tired. Bale hay tomorrow......

Metal roof will get done Mon.
 
You ain't kidding! Been hot here. Strong storms went over job site yesterday. About 15 miles from home. Lucky the hay only got a sprinkle. Its about 4 miles the other direction
 
Are those hand framed rafters?

Here’s the summer project at Junkshow. New gas engine display shed.
 
In the mean time a new shingle/ lath mill shelter cuz the hammers were warmed up.

Kevin will my tractors fit in there? Looks great and would look better behind my house! I pushed some dirt around to make a semi flat spot for a future building. Powers off right now and raining have my generator humming away.

Yep. Hand framed rafters. My 17 year old said it cool to know on Monday there was nothing but gravel there and we built that!
 
Greg. Thought I needed a building like that for hay storage.... Material was over $2700. I guess mine won't be that nice. 24'x24' would hold some tractors!

Grandpa,
Though sometimes (most) it can be difficult to do, especially with a long list of chores, [i:7d9f0296a2][b:7d9f0296a2]Knowing when to say when[/b:7d9f0296a2][/i:7d9f0296a2] [u:7d9f0296a2]especially [/u:7d9f0296a2]around heavy equipment is a wise move. Good for you for thinking straight.
