My first thought when I saw it was how much I got we get reminded up here for snow loads and angles and such... then I saw you were down south and you don't have to worry about that stuff ;)

Yep, me too.

Nothing but tin going up there. This is very temporary until I get my garage built in the next couple of years. Got the cross boards up last night and some metal.

You guys got me scared! I'm gonna go ahead and throw another support beam in the center. Can't hurt....I just dread digging more holes! I broke a maddock Saturday!

I think that would be a wise move too.
 
I had to look that one up... a "mattock" tool I was not aware of, but once I saw the picture, I knew right away... used one too many times.
How did it break? The handle or did it fly off the end?

When I stuck the pick end in the ground and pry'd backwards to break the ground up it snapped the handle at the head. May have been cracked to begin with but I didn't notice if it was. Maybe the ground will be a little softer when I can get back on this project. It has rained a couple of inches this morning.
 
I rented a gas power auger very fast and simple. But i was doing 20 posts.
 
Good idea with the ctr support, joists look like their sagging before any weight was on them. Better safe than sorry (especially with jeeps under them).:wave::thumbsup:
 
Got the rest of the metal on last night now all that is left is to cut the excess off the end to make it nice and even then add the center support. I hope to have the 8 back today with the new exhaust.
 
Welp....this side is complete minus the fishing rod hangers that I am going to install on the under side of the rafters! I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out. I only have about 300 bucks in the entire project. Center support gives me the warm and fuzzies that everything is going to stay where it is supposed to.

Looks nice. A little plastic on the side that gets the rain will keep them nice and dry.
 
You must live in a good honest place to be able to leave those doors and hang you rods and reels outside too.

Luckily yes! I do live in a great place. Been around here my whole life. Don't get me wrong there is some thievery that goes on like everywhere but for the most part people are mostly scared of being shot. :-)
 
I keep everyone VERY honest around here, if you know what I mean.
 
FINALLY GOT MY JEEP BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The video is uploading right now so I'll post it later. It sounds exactly like I hoped it would.

Funny wife moment........

So I had one of the guys that I work with take me to pick it up. It was late in the day last Thursday and I was planning on getting Landon and taking him hunting after work so I called and told her to bring him outside of the school. She is a teacher and he is in Kindergarten at her school. I called her to come outside and let me know when she could hear me. Yes I am still young and dumb and like everything LOUD! I pulled in the parking lot and she said, "You wanted it to sound like that?!"

OF COURSE I DID!!!!!!!!
