  • Building a shp continued....



    Thought you guys would like to see the progress I'm making on the shop I have dubbed the "Taj Mahal of Power Wagons!"

    More pictures of the progress are at http://imageevent.com/rockinjwranch/powerwagontajmahal

    Progress has been slow, because I'm building it myself, with the help of friends when they can. Snow is looming on the horizion, so I may have a hired crew come in put the plywood sheeting and metal roof on for me. I figure they can get done in a day, what would probably take me a week or two. The shop is about 2500+ square feet.
    I'm hoping to have the 2x8 purlins in the roof and get the building somewhat square in the next week. I've been using the Power wagon and the '40 VFA-32 as a work platform, and to get lumber and other building materials. The driveway is pretty muddy and the PW is about the only truck that will make it up it anymore. The VFA-32 just sits in there with a 12' step ladder on the bed.

    I had to rent a gradall (like a pettibone) forklift to get the trusses up on top of the columms.
