Default Re: Start of something big.....

The majority of our sheets for the roof are twenty feet and three inches or forty feet and eight inches.

The twenty footers are difficult for one or two men to handle. The forty footers are almost impossible.

So we did some things to help us out.

The backhoe reaches a hundred and twenty nine inches to the top of the forks. Our shortest wall is fourteen and a half feet from grade on the sides but only twelve feet on the front.

So we made a thingy dingy doo.

I drew it out and pointed out the materials. They jumped on it like hens on bugs.

It worked great for the twenty foot sheets after we made a ramp for the tractor along the fourteen foot wall.
