Anyone who opposes the Affordable Care Act is a subhuman. It is a great law but lying republicans are trying to destroy it. I signed up with no problem on the website. Republicans want to repeal my new insurance. Obama is a hero!
The days are getting longer!
I bet!
The mail carrier is used to being accosted by me. I actually know a little more about her than her first name, so when I see her, we visit.
So, no harm. no foul!
Can you print one from here, or should I send you one?
I can’t really say, but that doesn’t look from these angles as though it’s a timber-framed barn.
While it would be cool to go with timber-framing, if repairing that structure were my project, I’d consider doing it this way:
Take three regular truss frames, like you’d see on a twenty-four foot span on a tract house, and make them one. One in the center, of course, and two to act like legs for the center one.
This automatically makes a gambrel-roof shape, and although it’s a bit wasteful of material, it’s material that should be available widely and on short order.
This design has the advantage of being stable on two feet, which would stand on the existing walls. It can also be set up by a small crew of men. Put up the trusses, sheath them with plywood, and then cover with a metal roof.
I would, however, once the three-made-one were erected, put additional bracing under the center span to wall portions. This could be straight two-by material, to strengthen the load ability. All this would make a really rigid, easily built barn structure.
You would also have to separately frame the floor of the second or above floors. The open space of this kind of plan is very large, and it covers the barn floor rather quickly.
If you can find someone willing to fund the effort, this could be the way to get it done.
It may have been shouting at me when I was trying to kill it, but my hearing is not what it used to be.
I’d prefer not to come back as a house fly, I think.
All sorts of weird things about Star Wars and stuff. Frank is the closest brother, and he’s even more disconnected from reality than some of the others. “Look! Spot (his stuffed leopard) is also a machine gun!”
When Kathleen sees someone, she says Hi, and then she points at them and hisses.
“Congratulations on your upgrade to all new Rabbitoid 2.0!”
If the pic has an HTML code, I can probably print it from here. Do that, and I will let you know... ;o]
OH, YES!!! Longer days mean the heat can’t be TOO far behind...
Las Vegas, of course, is expecting about 350,000 revelers for the New Year Celebration, and the cross streets on the Strip will be closed to vehicular traffic as of 1700 hours until 0600 tomorrow morning.
They are figuring about eight minutes of pyrotechnics at Midnight, from the tops of some of the major casino-hotels. The city starts planning this shindig from January 1!
(Aside:) As of Friday, (payday) I’m stocking up on incandescent bulbs...
She likes Star Wars? Has she met Spock yet?
Yeah. Not many great choices, eh?
OK. Wait till I get some new ones tomorrow. :-)
No problem! I can hardly wait!
Do you get to see the fireworks from your place?
(If I never discuss light bulbs (lamps) again in this lifetime, it will be too soon!)
Drats.
Other option is “I’m an anime character”.
Oouuu. Worse. Darn.
Maybe coming back as a grain of sand? It would sure teach me patience.
I have an absolutely spectacular view of the Valley, and therefore, all the fireworks that take place no matter where they are...if I could only stay awake to see them...
The Valley, from my street is like a golden jewel...I can see it without being in it...
Perhaps coming back as a rock would teach you greater patience, since it takes eons for the rocks to become grains of sand...
My bad. I’m going to bed. I’m starting to cough again, and that isn’t good...
See you soon!!!
Breathe well, and have a great evening Face!
