    Opinion please: Insulate Metal Building in South Texas or not?

    The insulation helps a lot. Its been 100+ today here in Houston and inside the building we had nice breeze and did not feel hot at all. We finished the doors today! This thing went up in 3 days and then I took over with the doors. Here is a shot at my son tightening up the stopper. In the...

    She's happy in her new habitat....

    Been there - done that! I had a Yanmar 2210, 2WD, and got stuck multiple times. My wife called the Yanmar "his little weeny", and she constantly made fun of me when I got stuck. She said from the beginning to get a bigger tractor but as a good husband I did not listen and wanted to save some...
