Have to finalize the 2x6 "crane mount". Then hang the winch and see what happens. Realized can just run a 2x4 or better a 2x6 under lower chord, right against the top plate, to stabilize everything. Be a plate beside a plate just like lunch with the wife. Except she won't eat half of mine and take hers home. <I've never been married/they do that in the moovies>>
I'll add some diagonal braces at some point before I climb on the roof <right...like I'm gonna climb on the roof>
Spent most of the day actually working. Morning went really well. Did much better at doing one thing, then another thing, then another thang, then another thong...wait? What was I talking about? I'm horrible at scattering stuff everywhere because there isn't a where it should be, kinda. Mainly today if had something in my hand, felt was done with it, took it SOMEWHERE I thought it belonged. Not in the ever increasing pile. Started using plastic containers for old nails, spare screws, etc, etc, BAZINGA!
Hopefully wake up Saturday with money in the bank. If not, guess go job hunting. Local salvage yard has cleaned the place out, everything is gone, and is re-establishing/reformatting itself. Maybe they could use some old slow help? I'd be quite reasonable. Less than 5 minutes from home. Don't wanna do it but eating has become a habit.
