Got a break in the rain today . . . and was able to get some stuff done . . .
Forecast was for rain all day Saturday and Sunday . . . Thank goodness . . .
They were wrong again with the weather . . .
Really wonder how much more could have been done if there wasn't 2 days of rain.
After getting the 16' of silo done, also got it covered with some tin to "try" and keep
the rain out . . . got 3 days of rain in the forecast . . . UGH ! ! !
Then the task that was dreaded . . . getting back up on top to get the ridge vent and closures in place . . .
Was not looking forward to this . . . How to get a 10' piece of metal up there . . . but - figured something out . . .
And now - 4 of them are completely installed, 1 is in place to keep the rain out . . .
The good news . . . no more leaky tarps screwed down up there . . . and no leaks with all the rain ! ! !
Found this guy upside-down under a piece of plywood . . . and thought he had expired . . . but brought him in the
house - and placed him in a very little bit of water . . . the little guy perked up . . . and was still alive . . .
He's back outside in the area that I found him . . . to live another day . . . or hopefully longer . . .
After 2days of rain - no water in the silo - that' was a miracle ! ! !
Needed to get something done on the front of the building as not much has happened here recently . . .
So the next panel was put in place . . . and what happens next . . .
So right . . . can't stand the yellow color . . . so it got a coat of red to make it look better . . .
Then there was that back of this section of the shop . . . that needed some attention . . . 1st panel . . .
2nd panel got put in place . . . it would not lay flat . . . scratched my head . . . then remembered . . .
Had a piece of would that was added and it was protruding out . . . got it removed and it sits nice now . . .
Got the 3rd and last panel in place for this section of the shop . . .
Look out . . . Here comes the inspector . . . Try and look busy . . .
and what's next . . .
Of course . . . had to get rid of the yellow color . . . so it got a coat of red too . . .
Also, the blocks that were in one of the pictures above, have been set in place, need to fill them with cement.
That will allow the building of the back wall - decided to put another 10' wide 8' tall door on the back, and also
a people door . . . does NOT leave a whole lot of wall that needs to be built now . . .
Got a plan . . . got the lumber in the shop . . . now it just needs to get built . . . should be coming soon . . .
More Later . . .
