The deGier motors don't have cousins who will rob you In The night.
Is that just speculation or proven fact?
I prefer not to find out and to invest in infrastructure to reduce fixed labor costs.
I was talking about the motor.
The motors rob your wallet the first time out but then put out for you for years...
Pretty good trade if you ask me.

Well today was a good day till the rain came. This is a few more days then I anticipated on the lift. Lots of finish work and since I have to come down and move the truck every time, it's slow work. 4 moves for the length of the building.
It's going though, and over the course of 96' the most I had to move to line bolt holes up (prepunched at the factory) was about an inch. A pinch bar did the trick. Lots of impact drill time and I'm sore and sunburnt.
Bringing my boy out tomorrow to cut grass and get ready for cows and fencing while I try to wrap the building frame tape, turnbuckle brackets, and struts up. I've learned a lot of what not to do, though.

And how I left it last night, this morning it was raining so I came into work. Which is why y'all are getting a photo dump.
MANY LESSONS LEARNED!
1) Don't bolt anything together on the ground BEFORE starting from the TOP down.
2) tow behind lifts suck, it would have went SO much faster had I just got a 4x4 lift so I didn't have to keep coming down, hooking up, and moving the truck/lift, unhook, set riggers down, pull forward...
3) Don't count on "friends" to help.
4) Your patients WILL help if it benefits them, though. One patient babysat our kids for a whole WEEK while living with us, and the other one has been out there every day he's had off. He's a network tech, and is learning how to turn wrenches.
5) Sunburns suck. Keep going, though.
6) We've drank at least a 12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon every day while we've been out there. It's exactly $9.99 at the corner grocery store.
I'm going to order another kit before they're gone forever from FarmTek and put it's twin up next to it for next year. NCRS also has financing options for high tunnels for vegetable production, AND I'm looking for Herford calves, chickens, geese, ducks, and a pigmy goat for the fuck of it.
