Also the joining double sliding doors, i finally got cut in and built. It is very hand to have that size of opening to move things in and out between the two ends of the shop.

Agreed a 1968 is considerably less wires than a 1987. I ran a main power to the fuse/relay block and then replaced one old circuit at a time. Have patience and best of luck with the repairs. -
The back end peak took three hours with two helpers. The front took me 4.5 by myself in the dark. But I’ll take the progress🙂

The Mack is patiently waiting for operational doors .

My dad , myself and my brother after completing the rear peak wall over thanksgiving.

I always use sylvania led bulbs and never had a problem. This side of the barn will eventually have two two post lifts and a 1 ton jib crane . This is the crane awaiting my gathering of the I beams to mount it .

Had my brother and dad out to help put up the back peak section after thanksgiving dinner. Much better now that it isn’t a wind tunnel anymore.

I plan additional bracing to the sides. It is a yellow pine 2x6 right now and will have a 2x6 brace v ‘d off each side. The sides mounts near the wall will just go horizontal to the rafter above with a 2x6 But can you sketch out what you described.🤔 One more row of lights wired in only two more to go.

Got 1 row of 9. 1500 lumen can lights wired up. I think when the other three are wired in I should have more then enough light .

Managed to get a little more progress done with getting the doors partly installed. Tomorrow I hope to hang the upper tracks and install the springs.

I might beat the snow. But progress is progress🧐

The walls are still going on but I couldn't resist backing the trailer and F-model inside just to see how it fits. 😁 About 6" to spare on the length of the trailer and more than enough height . Now to finish up the sides and hang the overhead doors.

It’s got a roof finally, shingles go on tomorrow. Not to bad as a solo building crew in the evenings after work. 🧐
