I have a busy day planned for today:
Feedlot panels
A 60 mile drive to pick up 9 feedlot panels that Southern Belle found for half the cost of new. We will be leaving a little after seven this morning and hope to be back by 10:30. We will NOT be using freeways for the return trip.
My plan for loading them is to put a 2-by-4 across the back end of the pick-up bed and then to lay the 16' panels across it one-at-a-time. Then to bind the middle wire through the sandwich to tie them together. I should have a little bit of bowing at that point.
Then the plan is to hook up my manual winch to each end and use that to get the bundle to form an arch that is less than 8' across at the base.
A dentist appointment.
Two-clock hours

And waiting for them.
This time slot has Mrs ERJ and I triple booked with Mrs ERJ doing the double-duty.
Weeds to pull and grass to mow.
Sleep.
This sounds like a interesting day. Please tell us the details
ReplyDeleteTravel safe ERJ.
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to distribute the point load of the winch cable where it attaches to the panels?
ReplyDeletePlease be careful- that is a lot of tension! Both to ratchet up, and to release safely.
