I think the older one (me) may have left some fingernail marks on the new tin.

How warm or hot is the water coming from your water tanks after setting in the sun (just curious)?

In the 80s I spent 6 months in south west asia and all our water was in tanks and if it was sunny it was hot, but Hawaii is not as hot.

I like your carport. :thumbsup:

Normally in upper 60’s, maybe low 70’s at peak.

Maybe you said already, what kind of Drone do you have. I fly an Autel.

I have a Phantom 3. My cottage tenant took this with his Mavic.

Needed some pallet fork extensions this morning. Perhaps more the economy model

Still, quite effective

Last section of new roof finally in place, gutter installed. Still need to flash cottage side.

Still a lot of smallish details to address that will add up to be time consuming.
Hope to be able to start hooking gutters into catchment by next weekend.

Another good morning
Got my cross braces installed. Not part of the kit, but my own addition.

Attached with 3/8” stainless carriage bolts.

Made from galvanized pipe, 1 3/8” I believe. Top rail for chain link fence.

20 ton hydraulic press, drill and some galvanized spray
