careful you don't lift up that end of the barn. :)

I did that with the excavator boom. It didn't work out well, as the thumb hyd. lines took a hit. Now, my beautiful hand made lines look like they tangled with a barn and the barn won. Besides, that barn is tough. I don't wanna break the Lull.

I can not find where I posted my canopy light installation. It was back in 2008. So I figured to just to just put the update here. I put flood lights on front and spot lights on back. Flood lights for loader work and spot lights for backhoe work. I wired them into the existing plow light circuit. It is switched with the cowl lights.

I just upgraded them to LED. Now I am ready for low light operations, as the old non LED lights were just.....well,.....dull.

LOL....memories. My brother was in a band, and they practiced in our living room. The neighbor lady would call the law. When the law showed up, they played this song.
Better than playing “I shot the sheriff”!

Good job Brandi, "Let there be light"!!!
I haven't used the back lights yet, but the front lights are about 6 times brighter. They are really bright.

I finally got back to the deck roofing. Here is the ramp handrails and braces.

Saturday I started fitting and installing the taller top sills. I had to made it 3x6 and notch it to clear the screen door.

I had installed the center top sill and bracing last week.

Today, I measured and fitted the top sill over the bedroom door. It only had 1.25 left after the notch, so I added a 1.25 x 1/8th inch strap on the back side. I am using10 inch HeadLOK bolts to fasten the 3x6 top sill to the posts. I love the HeadLOKs.
