Girls fed baby lambs.

I got measurements on the garage, it’s 24’ 3” square. Posts are 4”x6”x8’ they sit on the concrete slab. 3 trusses, son says no problem to take down. He says put hay spear on tractor FEL, put long pipe with hook welded on it for chain, chain onto truss, detach it, lift and put on trailer. He’s a calm, methodical git’er done kind of guy.

Yeah I am

If you decided to work less than 24 hours a day, you probably wouldn't need the lights.

And where, sir, is the fun in that?

Heh, I run a excavator that will put a backhoe in a hole it can't get out and a track loader that will crush about anything or plow through a house idling in 1st gear. Yes that's my backhoe and it still has use here.

As I tell the wife, don't let others stop you for what you want to do in life, you are your own competition. Might seem funny to some, but to me I don't find it funny for someone to try to stop me on something of that level.
Most on here besides just me run tractors, it's part of the farm/ranch life, if you aren't allowed to do something that simple, you might want to look around at what else you can't do.
Only reason the wife doesn't drive "this" backhoe is no power steering, unsafe and she isn't strong enough. She has ran the excavator, loader, my 5 ton truck knows how to shoot decently, turn wrenches on her vehicle to an extent and run a welding bead, I taught her and embrace it as I might be the first one to go in the journey in life or get hurt.
Home will always be home long after I'm gone if I'm the first one to go as she will be able to run this place when the time comes and if it does.

No power steering doesn't scare me... LOL Just the volunteers to teach me dried up, claiming "plausible deniability" on WHO instructed me to operate the machinery. I already told my husband and his dad... (who happens to be teaching our 15 almost 16 yr old how to operate said backhoe...) once I finish my master's degree and get a job to fund what I want to add to the ranch... it's game on *please read that in a Samuel L. Jackson voice* .. Otherwise they will let me run whatever else I want to including the auger to dig small holes for corner posts...
