Re: Finally started on my Texas pole barn!
I'm glad I was able to contribute the pole setting method to the group. I had doubts that it was going to work and had images of the pole flipping backwards over my loader, and having to rely on the ROPS to bail me out. The first post must have took me 15 min of slipping my clutch (slooooowww) while fiddling with the loader position all the way in. I came up with the blocking the post after having to struggle to lift that first heavy SOB on to the frame of my forks. I think my poles were treated the day before I got them...all very wet.
There's an saying I once heard, "Progress is made by lazy men looking for an easier way to do a job." Not that I consider myself lazy, but after the near hernia on the first post, I looked over at the seven other and said, "There's got to be a better way."
Megado, great job on the progress. I picked up the roof metal/trim package today, I sure hope that I'm updating my thread with some pictures on Sunday night.
Anyone looking to buy metal roofing in the coming months, buy it ASAP. Waiting about 6 weeks after I first priced it out cost me a few hundred dollars. They told me today they are looking at a twenty cent price increase in the coming few weeks.
