    Did my 4 hour thing this morning. Breeze and shade on a sunny day... :yes: Nice. Used the truck this time so I could stand on the tailgate to reach the stack tops. Right side of the shed is now full. Floor is sagging pretty good too... :hair: Hope I don't come out some morning and find the whole thing imploded. Here's pics of today's work fer proof... ;)

    Perty sore. Wife says I'm a grumpy ole bear... :whistle: No Ibu for 4 days now. Life is different without it... :headbang:

    Time to get a couple holes dug for posts at the end of the shed addition... and make a 8'x8' sandbox for the grandboys... :)

    Yup, when I got going this morning, I felt good. I'm licking my wounds now but, it's good to get some more splitting done.

    Lackawanna gave way to LackasteamwannaIbu... :zip:

    Looks good. Is their any way to add cross members for extra support? There's this fellow Murphy that has a law named after him. I think me and him have got to be related somehow. It would be a shame to see all that work go to chit. I would not be crawling underneath that anytime soon cause that's about the time Ol' Murph would show up too.

    May do that. Looks as tho the middle stringer (double w/post) is down at least an inch in 10' span. The post holds it all. Yikes.

    Here's my Murphy story (I also know him well) Our sign company was doing a big sign project for Bangor's airport. All of the directional indoor signage. One day, things were going along with the usual issues. Airport manager and another guy came by and asked me how things were going. I started in... this and that and then... I joked, If we could just get Murphy off our backs we'd be all set. Wink, wink. The manager then introduced me to the guy with him... the city's code guy... Mr Murphy... :rofl: :lol: ... :emb: Thankfully, he got a lot of ribbing about his name. H*ll, maybe he's where the whole Murphy thing came from... :rofl: :lol:
