He just did not specify where it was moving out FROM. Sounds like in this case it was the clouds.

To return our thoughts back to our regular programming.
Yes it was raining yesterday. Yes we got wet but we got it done. The frame is complete and on the blocks.
Now for those of you wondering why the blocks? Note now that 2 large trucks will fit side by side!!
The tricky part was lifting the last frame in place. I actually had to get in tractor bucket to lift the last frame up while we put legs on and put on Legos.
As noted in earlier pics I could only get a 20 foot section of pipe so we had to build the first three sections, move around as necessary with wrecker/tractor and then add the last section
It actually went according to plan with a lot of swearing and on the fly adjustments at each step
Stand by for adding the covers, cool plan on that one

P.s. Another reason for the height as you now have noted m73819 does not like to get wet and wanted extra height so we can do crane lifts under the cover and he not get wet.

I like the fact they probably have a flammable 55 gallon drum sitting next to the tent clearly labeled and full of explosive ordinances

This is a vinyl material and may very well be for the round top frames, I did have about fifteen of the canvas ones that I know were for the older ones, I'll have to look and see if it laces together like the temper tents or has the hooks at bottom, I saw LME and thought I would toss it out there. It is just going to be thrown away if nobody wants it.
The canvas worked for the Barn we were working on, 30 ft x 8 ft for tarps,..
I bought most of this stuff back in 2004 to 2006, got two scissor lifts for $650.
