Worked late tonight and going to get out there early tomorrow and try to get 'r done.
That beam is a 17' long 4" x 24" 300lb plus hunk of wood. Doing things like this on your own takes careful planning and even so can be a real butt pucker when the wind comes up at the wrong time. Thinking there is a real shot at getting metal on the roof tomorrow. Still have to mill some 1" to go under the metal but have about 1/3rd of it done and a good sized cant on the mill ready to start lifting lumber from.
Those walls are all 1 1/2" thick lumber, the uprights 4" x 4" and its all sitting on 4" x 6" dunnage footing made as a sacrificial ground contact I can easily replace or eventually put in a concrete footing. The walls are on the windward side giving a break to this work area. We have crazy wind here, some of the highest average wind speeds in the nation.
