    Thank you sir! However I have one problem, in order to STAY cool, I must start that way, no dice!! HAHA...

    Well I finally got the roof structure built and the first 3 layers of corrugated steel on it. Was able to SKETCHILY get one side erected and the legs under it, took a while and nobody died so that a huge plus.
    Lucky for me I had a customer dropping off another truck and I was able to have him help me get the other side onto a tall car stand where I can incrementally raise it in order to get the legs on and then the fun arduous job of installing a million self tapping screws for all the roofing panels....Ugh, Tendonitis HERE WE COME! That stuff really plays hell on my tendons since I have to grip like a gorilla (albeit a small one) in order to drill them all in.

    If you look at the reviews if the car cover online everyone is saying you have to pre drill all the holes, I prefer the "Don't be a pussy method" and just push harder!! Pretty sure those screws are calles SELF_TAPPING for a reason but who really knows..
    Hmm I wonder why my tendonitis gets so bad!!? :cool:

    HOT AS BALLS TODAY BOYS, DONT DIE! Stay Hydrated...

    Ok back into the fire.:bananadead:

    I'm making a horse cover for my wife. No, the wife isn't a horse. I'm not far behind from a metal carport. Last week I was dead from moving around railroad ties and positioning them. I'm definitely pre-drilling my holes the weekend. I have no idea why my big projects always happen in August, but here we are.

    I’m here now trying it out. Refreshing Mex lager. Has a familiar taste. Maybe Pacifico.

    Edit:Turns out they rebranded their Hey! Cerveza Man. Still, a good beer.

    Yep. Hottest time of the year! Had me cracking up about the wife isn't a horse comment. lol!!

    And use self tappers push harder or borrow your wife's purse for extra weight and hang it over your shoulder on the drilling arm. When things get tough a bigger purse is usually the answer.:p

    Yes. Good food too. The two co-owners, collectively, also own Obriens in Clairemont Mesa, West Coast in La Mesa, The Pub in Lake Cuyamaca, and The Chicken Pie Shop.

    Except for Obriens, all those venues are good for a get together. Parking at Obriens sucks.
