You guys may remember the mobile shelter that I built a couple years ago. I built it on 4x4" sled runners so it could move with the cattle daily. You can see the video here of how I built it. 👇

Well its still working great, but we have a lot more cows now that want to share it than we did originally when I built it. 😆We've had another round of severe heat come through (pretty normal for August) so they are packing in under it and on the shaded side as the day progresses. Its so awesome to see a shelter that I just kind of thought up has survived being pulled from paddock to paddock for several years now and worked well for us.

One of our group members just said they had a bunch of homeless set a fire under some electric transmission lines and the power company shut off that feeder to 5 zipcodes. Good thing he's got batteries and inverters.... he said he could run lights when no one else had them.
So this brings up another point. What happens when the SHTF for real and your neighbors see you are the one with lights on? You might as well BBQ in your front yard during lent. It's gunna attract hungry people.
So what happens when SHTF and lights are out for the long haul and you run in to town clean shaved and recently showered? Gunna get some attention. Attention you may not want.

Building a pole barn. Lessons learned.. 2x6 lumber warps and twists. You need a 2nd person in the man lift with a fork to untwist the perlins before screwing them to the saddles. Next, you should cut a short chamfer at the end of the perlins so they seat to the bottom of the saddles more easily.
And finally, Lowes lumber really sucks. I got a few boards with knots so large in the middle that they aren't suitable for use, several with non-flat edges.

Home Depot: a local German guy went to home depot for lumber. He got two carts and started sorting 2x4s. When he finally got what he needed, one of the home depot guys offered to help him push that 2nd cart to the front. The guy said I'm only getting these... those aren't worth buying. Home depot employee was angry and said he'd have to put them back on the rack.

This may seem silly, but I'm hanging fascia boards on the rafter tails of my pole barn roof and can't reach both ends of a 10ft span from the man basket. So I had this idea... use a 1x2 scrap as a hinged hanger for one end of the face board. Now I can drive the man lift 10ft to the right and work on the other end of the face board. By using one screw in the rafter tail like this, i now have a hinge joint that allows me to make fine adjustments on the board left and right before screwing it in.
