alas, I didn't get a picture... but I hauled a goat with mine this week

a high school friend runs a little family farm and they had a goat kid get injured about a month ago, even with vet care it seemed he had some permanent nerve damage that was beyond their ability to care for, and they had made the difficult decision to have him euthanized before it got worse.... well, just so happens I know a vet down south and reached out, she was happy to take him and continue treatment (since she can do it herself)

so I piled the cargo area with blankets and went and picked him up Wed morning, covered half his trip down south, was a perfect little spot for a baby goat!

151 inches equals 12.58 feet so the floor of the shed is 8 x 12. Or yea x yea! Wait! How much is a cubit? I need more coffee!
Oh. I see what you guys are talking about. The front center block is actually a little lower than the main 2x4. There is another 2x4 section behind the main beam that is about an inch lower and that section sits on the block. So there is a "gap" but the floor isn't bowed.
Never said I was a good carpenter.......

What I want to know it where you got straight 2X4's...

All the lumber they sell around here look like boat braces.

So, FMG, I calculated 8’ or 96 “ X 10’ or 120” would be 153 “ diagonal, close, enough.

hmmm, the photo appears to be square, 9’ x 9’ or 108”x 108” would have a diagonal measurement of 152.7 so closer to the 151 inches

We took a cruise this afternoon to Ridgeway , Ontario, went for a walk and then cruised the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Black Creek, then headed home! The right front TPMS sensor intermittently fails , I just had them installed a year ago , in March, so, I ordered a replacement.

Looks great!

Those are some hefty locking cables. What are they for? Bicycles?

Of to the local auto salvage location to looks for some wanted parts and a quick 'how to' research.
I like to practice on wrecked vehicles so as to not damage mine.
Maybe I can find one with a working sunroof assembly.

Good luck in your endeavour to find a sunroof with the parts you need!

today, Sweetie went in the BlackSwan over to her Mom’s , they watch their church services on her IPad.
I stayed home and put all the tools away back in the toolbox, straightened up the storage boxes . Disposed of the cardboard packaging , separated my plumbing , electrical, fasteners parts in separate bins, downstairs.
and now lunch and then watch the NASCAR race from Talladega!
