Harv:

I like your sheet handling rig! Excellent and elegant solution to manipulating those awkward pieces of sheet metal.

OK Harv,
It has been over a month now with no progress reports. What is the latest?

Hey Harv,
Just wondering if you are OK? We miss not hearing about one of your projects.

I'm in Peoria Arizona visiting with my father for a week or so. Originally we were going to come in the truck and bring the toy hauler to the Mogollon Rim like we have done for the last couple of years.

Three hiccups in the getalong. First we have had so much rain at the project that it will take four or five days of non rain for us to get out the toy hauler without needing a crawler or big big tractor. Second, Lucy, the truck, has been ill for some time, injectors. She's at the doctors getting all eight replaced, thirty six hundred dollars. The gauge package has also went out, another four hundred dollars, about forty four hundred with tax. The last one was also weather related. My dad doesn't do cold weather good. It's been unusually cold up in the mountains this year and he really needed to get back to the valley.

The project is complete. I snapped some photos the other day before we left so I could post some finished pictures.

The project is for the storage of tractors and equipment. It was also decided that a pallet rack at the rear cantilevered out from the wall so it wouldn't limit floor space would be nice for holding cut lumber for air drying.

After the floor is sealed most of the equipment in the photo will spend most of their time inside out of the weather.

Harvey, good to hear from you! Since folks have hinted that you might possibly still be up right and taking nourishment we didn't worry too much! Sound like you've been hooked up short for a while.

OUCH! On those truck repairs. A good one is still worth putting the money into though. Looking forward to those pics when you make it back in.

The big thing for me was designing, fabricating, installing, and finishing out the front with as much open access as possible. Roll up doors would have worked fine. But since the doors will only be opened on occasion (I can see some doors going six months or more without being opened) I figured sliding doors would be less expensive to do and definately more likely to be trouble free over time.

The pallet rack was a challenge. I mentioned how kewel it would be to have a cantilevered rack across the back where the lumber he's cutting could be allowed to air dry and not take up more space. He told me to do it.
