    Galvalume roof = ugly (Any options?)

    Yesterday I saw my new barn from the sky for the 1st time. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Lots of nice farms, fields, trees and then my bright shiny silver ufo. Can you say ugly!!

    Loaded tires, 2nd valve, limited edition - M7040

    Does it make sense to get one with a 2nd valve - even if don't intend to use right away? Won't it increase the resale value? And isn't it better to be safe rather than sorry? Does it matter if the tires are loaded with water/anti freeze vs the typical fluid? What is the correct name for the...
