You have some talent brother, I almost never see let-in wood look that tight! And you built and set that by yourself, Incredible! :D

    I did get the "caps" for the posts bent up today. 20210811_142144.jpg
    These will get fastened to the tops of the posts and the bar joists will sit on them and get welded together.

    Very swampashish today with more humidity and lower 90's Thursday-Friday. There will be very little to report on in the short term future. :headbang:
    (Unless you want a bunch more puppy pictures :D)

    Today I got the bar joists moved up to the building site from "out back". I was waiting for a buddy with his tractor trailer (they are 37'4") but decided to just do it. 20210820_140224.jpg
    20210820_140301.jpg
    I put 6 ratchet straps on the bundle and put them on the truck, it was a little funny feeling with all the weight on one side and so high but it was only about a 1/4 mile and I creeped up in low range.

    I arranged these blocks for support before I get around to using them. The building is behind me where I took the picture.
    Then my logging guy called me to say that my lumber was cut and ready. :yes:
    20210820_152932.jpg
    I opted for 2 trips. They were logs this morning so - very heavy.

    Had company here since the last post. I sure am tired of listening to........ basically BS!
    Besides a dentist appointment tomorrow there's nothing in my way. I hope to make some progress this week and get back into "the groove", I think we're mostly past the annoyingly hot weather.
