I cannot fathom living/working in that. -33. Wow. It's 49 here and I've been crying about the cold. :thumbdown: I think eventually I will end up somewhere on the equator.

Don't quit the build - just wait until warmer days. Do the igloos melt in summer? ;)

Hey every one,
Just a quick note on my progres. After our record breaking cold snap :snow we had a record breaking high of 58 deg :sweaty: melting all our snow in about 2 days. :crying2: The Barn is a mud hole and everything that isnt covered is damp. The new frame is home :thumbsup: As soon as the water dries up or freezes I'll get back to work, pics included.

Mike,

The guy that built the frame used the term "Thin wall" I wouldnt know the diff if you hit me over the head with it but I'm shure it would hurt either way. :?
Image
Check out the surface rust :x My tape says 3/32, what does that equate to?
Image
I layed the pallets down to get out of the mud, but decided to just wait untill it dry's out or freezes over again.

I checked this one out, :thinking:
