I just can't take any Global taxing advocate seriously that would use
that **** on their boat... Sorry Harry, nothing personal. That is a
low transom carbon footprint nightmare you got there in that picture.
If you want to come down here and built me a new barn, I'll consider
your bid. I don't have room in my old storage barn, and the plastic
works very well.

What boat have you that compares in size and value to my little
Parker,
and where do you store it so it is protected from Old Man Winter? On
the
trailer, the rig is about 26' long and 9' wide.

Sure, we could get Loogie to tie up the rebar, we can show him how
it's done


What I need is a nice new 30-40' deep barn, with a double, 12' high
rollup
overhead door. I can't store anything of value in my old barn, because
it
is structurally unsound. I had some boards replaced on it, just so it
wouldn't be as unsightly, but the reality is that it is either going to
fall in on itself someday soon or I will have to pay to have it
demolished
and hauled. All it is is an old tobacco barn, loosely built. These days,
it mostly provides shelter for my old tractor, some tools and a
significant number of critters wintering out of the wind and cold.

I've got a couple of union buddies who have volunteered the labor to dig
and pour the footers and slab and build up a foundation wall of fancy
block three or four courses up off the footers. I'm really thinking I
want
the Amish guys around here to do the rest of the job. Next time I head
over to their market, I might lasso one of the elders and talk to him
about it for a spring project. The Amish around here are top-notch barn
builders.

Which union do the Amish belong to?

I don't know, but I will tell you this - top notch work.

I have personal experience with Mennonites - it's pretty amazing how
much a crew can accomplish in a short period of time.

I'm somewhat familiar with their work and agree it's top notch. I just
didn't realize they were unionized.
