New roof = real progress.

[DUMBDOG]

In roofing, a square is 100 square feet of shingles, depending upon the shingles, it may be three to four packages.

(Said with a smile) I think it's a trick used by roofers to get a little extra in their bid. Say you have a roof that measures 3410 square feet. They just say 35 squares...

OK, that makes sense. I therefore have a 29 square roof. Much less than the $2.9 million if the going rate were $1000/sq ft. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Basically Don I just use the carriage the forks ride side to side on and the forks along with the back board that keeps the stuff from falling back on the tractor-forklift.

If your tractor doesn't have quick attach and you wanted to have a pair of swinging forks like you see on the big front end loaders on construction sites you can modify just the forks off your forklift to work on the front loader bucket.

But if you do have to scrap it and you can save the carriage and the forks do so. Even if you don't use it yourself you can have a really great swapping piece. I'm sure you're not the only creative tractor owner in Florida.

And I am really really thankful to have you back posting like your old self again. You are appreciated. And you were missed.

Just like buying a countertop for the cabinets. You can buy 8' 1/2",
but try to buy 8' 1' and you will pay for 9'.
