Sometimes projects can drag on. You aren't sure if you'll ever get started, let alone finished. Every once in a while the stars line up just right and before you know it you aren't just starting but you are nearly finished. That's how it's been with our carport project. A couple of exceptional October days and a crew willing to hustle and by the time Monday rolls around I'll be able to park my tractor.

Not only will this be a great place to park vehicles it will also be the "dirty" shop. It's a place to spread out wet packing gear, make repairs, store packing boxes and get out of the rain.
