[Pastor Dave]

Sounds like something I would pull.

I got a picture today. The sheep have plenty of room now!

it looks great... but I had to keep telling myself "she doesn't get snow, she doesn't get snow!"

That roof isn't anywhere steep enough to shed snow... just so ya know.

Yeah, I know. We can barely walk under it. The elevation just doesn't cooperate on that side of the portable building. On the other side is a pretty good drop and we will someday extend the roof on that side and park the tractor and trailer under it.

When it snows here, maybe once every 3 years, we get a few inches, it melts and is gone in 3-4 days. No biggie.

Looks really good Bay!!...I know they and you will enjoy it much better and make it much nicer and easier in the wet weather for sure....

Looks good, want to come build me one

How hard is it to build that?

I want to put up an enclosed lean-to to the short end of my barn and make it the maternity ward.

Measure out how far you want to go from each corner, set poles, divide the distance between them, set pole in the middle. We went out 20 feet, so two sets, a 20 foot span is too long without support.

We used joist hangers to make it easier to put up the rafters. We put them on 16" centers and decked with OSB. We covered that with tar paper. We went over the tar paper with radiant heat barrier, then put the tin roof on.

Later on we'll put up outside walls.

I'm wanting to use the clear corrugated roofing for light, no electricity in our barn.

Digging post holes will be the worst part... =/
