haha no, was able to dodge that bullet! Just been busy with work, kids and farming. Did manage to almost get my old barn restored this summer though. Wanted to really get a jump on that before the weather turns

That’s where I was too, my barn is 110yrs old this year and was to the point where something had to be done

Very nice upgrade there, Gyman. Did you skin over the barn yourself?

Yeah it did! Gyman, you have access to a sheet metal brake, or have one in your shop? Pexto? Chicago?

For the light gauge stuff like that I have a 10ft Tapco portable brake, for the heavier gauge stuff I have a powerfist which is sold by princess auto (Canada’s version of harbour freight) it’s a 40” and required a bit of reinforcing and reengineering to make it usable
