Quote: funny I did have a look on CL the other day to see if anything popped up, notta. I typically ASK on CL but I think its best to just get from lowes at this point, I do like the longer lengths and the free delivery though. I should get enough to do my house!

Cheapest option galvalume panels (non-painted). Cost would be $2.01 per ln ft. Our painted steel is $2.30 per ln ft

14x30 roof would require 20 panels (assuming it is two sided roof).
Non-painted = $562.80
Painted = $644.00

Pricing is for 20 panels @ 14’0”. Does NOT include trim, screws, or sales tax.

Due to location we could deliver at no charge.

Lead time is 2-3 days to get into our store. Maybe another 1-2 days to get delivered after that.


Thanks

Overall price doesn't sound too bad, but if you can find 14' panels, figure out what 20 of them would cost you. If hubby and/or the older sons could do the installation, safely, you'd undoubtedly save a bunch of money. Screws & tax I understand; no idea what the trim would be, unless he's including the strips that go under the panels as trim, which I doubt. Figure out how much the materials + tax would cost you; everything over that goes into Hess' pocket.

I doubt stores like Lowes or Home Depot will carry 14' panels in stock. If they do, great. If not, they can probably special order them for you. Wherever you buy the panels should be able to tell you what you need other than the panels; screws, the foam or fiber strips that go under the panels, the ridge strips for the peak, etc.

What kind of roof is on the building now? I used the same product on my deer blind, screwing it directly onto the plywood sheathing. If you take the existing roof off, down to the rafters, you'll have to put strips on top of the rafters, running the 30' length, in several rows (not sure how many, but I'd think 2' apart), to support the panels. If you go that way, you might want to use a couple of translucent panels (on both sides of the roof) of the same design...like on your deck roof...for natural light.

In the end it all depends on how your men folk feel about working 15' off the ground.
just a wood shed dont have plywood just strips to hold the steel on thats on it now. but it was rigged, not done perfect, it is a woodshed remember it was all recycled materials, its not that high about ten foot in the front and maybe eight or seven in the back.
Well, heck...that should be a piece of cake, then. Didn't realize, or forgot, it was your wood shed you were talking about. That height wouldn't even bother me, & I'm nervous when I walk on a thick rug.

Your guys should be able to knock that out in an afternoon w/o breaking a sweat, if there are no undetected problems hiding under the old roof.
yes piece of cake, I have done four roofs already and thats not including sheds and coops crap, I have yet to use this type of roofing though, but compared to having to carry shingles and plywood up on a roof, I think we got this in the bag lol. I have always been the shingle cutter with my scrap pc of plywood and square running from end to end lol. While the boys got to play with the nailer nd break their backs leaning over, I sat on the roof and cut

and barked orders like a woman does so well

My next project is figuring out what drugs can and cannot be used in food animals, so I need your help.

Let me start with a question for all of you... If a vet posted this about a drug, what would you think?

The drug in question is wormer called Pyrantel Pamoate, which is "labeled" for use in people, dogs, cats, and horses.
A) The drug could never be used in food animals.
B) The drug could be used as long as an appropriate withdrawals were followed.
C) Other. Please explain.

Note: There is no wrong answer here, I'm just trying to figure out what you all think a statement like the one above means. Going forward I am going to research the list of the "approved drugs", the "banned" drugs, and what "off label" means.

-Kathy

If the drug is used on, in this case poultry, the eggs and chicken should no longer be used for food as the withdraw period is unknown. However, as this drug is used on humans I would not have an issue eating the eggs or chicken.

Good morning! Yes, I was done. I was digging through the mountain of laundry to find church clothes I can toss in the dryer and unwrinkle. It's been one of those decades...

​

look!!! provided it survives the hatching process... it looks like its starting

AWESOME!!!! now chill!! let it do its thing!!! is that pip at the small end of the egg? a malposition? those will pip first and sometimes quite a bit before the others!! so relax it looks like a nice clean pip!! here read this @kajira

Morning Just had to remove some shell from on of four that started zipping yesterday, head was down towards the small end put it back in the bator, I have not had to help any yet but figured this one needed it it's chirping and moving may be stuck to the shell, should I leave it for now or take it out of the bator?

its a malpositions? not sure what to tell you without a pic

Okay, last hatching question, and I'll shut up.

Given the variance in temps while keeping the eggs in a bowl to prepare for incubation, is it safe to leave the baby in the incubator for more than 24 hours, while I wait to see if the other egg or two is going to pip as well? Or should I just take her out when she's fully dry... and how long before I give up on the other eggs hatching?

(The articles I read, had different opinions on how long they are viable for after day 21.)

Dont give up faith yet!! @kajira Let that chick hatch and in the bator at least 24 hours it will help stimulate the others! keep that bator closed up!

Wow, I am new the this group and surprised by how fast it moves. Keep on Cluckin.

Yes, very fast.

I went and checked on the baby, she's laying next to the other egg, that was viable and resting against it, does that mean there's something in the egg that caught her interest (like chirping from another baby?) or just a fluke that she's choosing to lay next to that egg like that.

Good chance she heard it chirping or movement, at least that has been my experience.
