Roasting day.

It was hot today.  Really hot.  In an unusual turn of events, the high for the day in Swanzey was the same as Sullivan (Sullivan is normally 3-5 degrees cooler), but both areas flirted with 90.

My blocks didn't hold up well, so instead I just put the third loop on the tarp on.


I also spent a lot of time siphoning water off the tarps.  It is kind of a slow process, but I got all the water off without dumping all over my walls and subflooring.




The hose is actually for my mixer valve controller, but it worked better than a garden hose that I tried to use on the shed when I was building it.


I also put the new carport together.  They have changed the numbers on all the parts since the the one I bought a couple of weeks ago, and it took a lot (and I do mean a lot) longer with only person.  I tried to put the top on before putting the legs on, and that appears to have made it easier.  But it is standing.  I will need to figure a couple of things out, most notably being how to cover the ends, since it is 20 feet long, and the floorplan is 24 and a half feet.


A couple of changes, they changed out all the anchors.  You get 4 beefier ones, but the other ones are even wimpier than before.


The wimpy ones are a little thinner, and several inches shorter.


Even the beefier ones didn't seem to anchor that well.  All the stirred up dirt was from it moving around as I tried to tie it down.


I also realized that I didn't have enough bungee cords to move the big tarps to the sides, so those are still covering the main flooring.  This is all I have left after the one side on the other carport.


The main things I need to figure out is how to move it over about a foot (the trailer is a little too close to the edge of the slab), how to cover the extra almost 5 feet, and how I am going to raise the whole shebang up a couple of feet so that I can stand the walls up underneath it.
