Good morning!!!!

Nice car, Doug. It's amazing what they're doing with paint right from the factory now. We should start a pool on when you get your first speeding ticket; that arrest-me-red is sure to draw a lot of the wrong kind of attention!

Well we live on a quiet back road and not many kangaroos around in the daytime so I have given it a couple of 'bursts' but it is not the norm for me. Maybe years ago when I did some smalltime rallies but not now. It has a cruise control and I make a point of using it. I am more likely to get caught in the Ranger as it is so smooth and quiet the speed creeps up without realizing it so programming myself to use cruise in that too.

Doug, nice rides! and a new barn will be nice too. We have to get you on track to calling it a barn. hahaha A shed for us is a small storage unit, usually too small to park a car in. Make sure you pick the kit that handles the high wind loads. Here I believe the wind loads are rated at 90 or 110 miles per hour. The doors can also be a problem in the high winds.

We are not in a wind zone Kyle, however the barns have a cyclone rating well above what we will ever get. Never get snow here either. We do get big hail occasionally. I have had cars damaged from that in the past so I will be protecting these babies as best I can.
The pics are along the lines of what I am looking at. Not those colours of course but we will have a sliding door in the right hand side like the one shown.

Our standard cookie cutter homes here come with 16' wide garage doors. It is difficult to park 2 cars adjacent w/16' door. For my barn, I ordered an 18' x 8' tall door. It is wide enough to easily park my 2 cars, and my ROPS on my mid sized tractor fits underneath. I have a 10 x 10' tall door on the opposite end for the bigger tractor and to let the breeze blow through.

OK This barn is strictly for the cars. We hope to do a agricultural shed for the tractor and buggies and implements and my lads old Holden Ute. It is NOT going in my barn. LOL

That changes what I said earlier, so it will have interior walls, and not need 50 ft trusses

73F sun trying to peeking thru the clouds,got soaking from 2am little after 10am.

We started at day break removing broken porch roof looks like more damage than thought for this will be $$$$'s repair but way much cheaper than hiring it...will hit hard again tomorrow morning.

Little to nothing plan for this evening but sure pillow time will come early.

Enjoy your evening all.

That is why I went with the extra width. I will be able to open car doors without hitting the walls or other cars. I will be able to get 2 cars in lengthwise. Anyway, photos in due time. And a hoist of course and if expenses haven't got out of control, a wheel balancer. I had one once and regret ever selling it.
Did I miss your birthday oops. Best regards mate.
