Title: monday i get to play with my new erector set.
Post by: TAB on November 04, 2016, 09:16:17 PM: as some of you know I bought some property not too long ago and step one is a 40x60 steel barn/shop/toy box/ equipment storage...

well the foundation as cured enough for me to start on it Monday.

the main steel structure arrived today, should be up by wed if the weather holds. ;D

oh yeah the wife said she would come run the grade all ( huge off road forklift) if I want.

I am not sure if that's a good thing or not. ;D

yes, she has great hand/eye, but I am afraid...not of her doing something bad, but the last time she was behind the sticks of heavy equipment we were both sore for weeks.
