  1. I made some French fries yesterday. They tasted as good as they look, they were the cat's ass!
  2. It's got 3 or 4 long pins driven into the ground on both sides to anchor the bottom but the whole top part sways back and forth. We've had a lot of unusually windy days here, unusually strong winds, and I was just afraid that eventually that back and forth motion would wear through the screws in those corner braces, creating a domino effect and eventual catastrophic failure of the entire structure. Pretty big words I'm throwing around there, eh? 🤣
  3. I was thinking 🤔 of just taking some of the side panels off. If I did that I could see what the neighbors across the road were up to again too, I can't see them now 🤣
  4. I didn't want to close it off completely, I asked the guy when he put it up if it was going to take off like a kite the first time the wind blew. He said "no, that's only when you close them in".
  5. I thought I had too, I was thinking when you tapped "edit" it gave you the option to "delete post" too, but I guess not.
  6. I did what Larry suggested and it looks like the pictures are back, I haven't put any cables in the carport yet. I was thinking of putting an X brace in the far end, never considered the sides.
  7. I somehow made a double post and I tried to delete one, but that seems to have failed too.
  8. I've got this carport And when the wind blows it sways back and forth probably 6-8 inches at the top. Today I got in the big green International that runs now and it swayed over against the door so tight I couldn't even move the door. It's normally about this far away. So I'm wondering if I should ignore it, or add some braces to stiffen it up some, or take take some pieces of the siding off so the wind can blow through. Anybody got any thoughts?
  9. nothing to see here, can't delete the dreaded double post...
  10. Can't I just paint the front ones white?
  11. I'm with you there. I don't mind hearing other people's opinions, even if they're wrong 🤣 (I'm joking of course- about the being wrong). Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but ridiculing, calling them stupid, or any personal attack on them for having a different opinion is just wrong. Unless it's all in fun, that's a horse of a different hue of course.
  12. ...2 minutes later-
  13. The guy from Michigan called me today, he said his guy from Kentucky was going to be traveling 460 this weekend for something. And he said he would pass my contact info on to him so he could come by and look at it. He buys and sells trucks and trailers in Michigan, so maybe he's serious about it.
  14. Here's a meme... I post memes that say say "yeah, that's what I think!" But I try to respect every other member here and their opinions.
  15. And 5 minutes later-
  16. Zina said "it's snowing?" "Yeah, but it's no big deal, I'm sure it's not going to stick". 5 minutes later-
  17. I go from getting sun burned washing the big Mack truck yesterday to this today-
  18. I got 2 responses since I lowered the price. One that might be something, a guy in Michigan who sells trucks and trailers wanted my contact info. so he could get his friend in Ky. to come look at it sometime. The other was a guy in WV who wanted to know the gross weight and the least I would take for it.
