Only had 8 more sheets to put down to finish the north side of the roof here is what it looks like now
Now I have a lot of stuff to move before I can get started installing the purlin on the south slope.
A little closer look , what this is, is a kaylin Siebert 50 by 102 with 3 sliding axles that I am working on right now I have close to $4,000.00 worth of new parts to install on it but want to do some modifying then sand blase and paint the axle group and trailer frame before I start re assembling it I may get it moved under the roof section tomorrow

Getting closer to being ready to start on the South slope
Today I moved all of the no longer needed scaffold frames loaded the tires onto the trailer bed, moved the big A frame and moved the trailer bed plus so much other stuff it would be hard to list everything
But this is what it looks like now in the building

26 feet to the peak but eventually when there will be a slab it will be around 25 feet and 18 feet to the bottom of the trusses. I was wanting to have 20 feet clear under the trusses but I only had pipes that were 45 feet long to cut in half for the columns and had to go a couple feet deeper that I had wanted to get well into a hard strata with those big truck rims welded to the bottoms of them I could have gotten away with not going so deep, but what's done is done If it turns out not to be tall enough to suit me I'll build another building later or cut this one and jack it up a few feet I once had a 7000 sq ft shop with only 13 ft clear space back then I had 10 employees and one weekend I paid them double time and a half to help me raise the whole building walls and all up 8 feet the columns in it were made out of 6" pipe so we made a dozen column jacks out of 12 ft long H beams welded 4 along both sides and one at the each door column then winched it up. with the winches and the assistance of my 25,000 lb fork lift we had it raised column extensions welded in place and were adding sheet metal by midnight By late Sunday afternoon I had extended all of the electrical the guys were dog tired after a weekend marathon so I gave them Monday and Tuesday off but paid them of the 2 days anyway. To my way of thinking it wouldn't have been fair to work them nearly 40 hours straight then not pay them for the time they needed to recuperate

Have a couple good days in on the building of course there are always a dozen other chores to do everyday to limit ones work on a project such as this.
but yesterday and the day before I managed to move lift stage move lift weld and move the bus scaffold again
today turned out to be another of those climb up climb down walk back and forth run the back hoe Armstrong the steering of the bus scaffold climb up over and over
I'm thinking I would get less of a work out in a Gould's GYM with a retired Drill sergeant as a trainer Almost any cardiologist will tell you that once you reach a certain age you absolutely need to walk a mile or 2 every day and climb several flights of stairs. But none of them have ever thought about doing this while clambering over steel trusses 20 odd feet in the air while pushing or dragging 3 to 6 80 lb purlin in place My cardiologist would have heart failure just thinking about it.
All purlin are on top of the building now
7 are welded in on 1 section and 3 welded in on the other section so I guess all in all I managed to get 5 welded in place today at times the wind did get bad enough to make me head for the ground but it mostly cooperated
