- Liar. Yep dude will be back. If 'dude ever really leaves.

I never did Calc but Geometry and Algebra 1 & 2 High school and Advanced in College. Love Algebra. Not so much geometry. Way more theorems, rules and practices than algebra.

Nice set up CC!

Just stopping in quick before going to work! Have a great night all!

Stopped at TSC to see if they had woodstove cement sealer stuff it's black and looks like roof tar, nope stove stuff gone. The kids had to come in also cause they wanted to look at the chickies and duckies. Thankfully the silkies were all gone, I resisted them once don't know if I could have, actually I know I WOULD HAVE walked out with some, thought about it on the way in and I don't need anymore chickens much less basically defenseless ones. Lol, wheww dodged a bullit there, no more TSC until I know they are GONE!

They had no silkies or we would have taken them all. My defenses were down and we now have 6 bantams.

@bamadude You're no help!

@tntchix Neither are you!

@chickadoodles Don't worry, Chicka, you knew what you were thinking.... and at least YOU were thinking (Dude.)

@perchie.girl Inside angles, outside angles, they are all 60o, I knew what I was thinking and it was the same as what you were thinking.

And oh yeah, half of 60 is 30......DUH!!

@Peep_Show and @superchemicalgirl Thanks everyone!

Now, I need to figure out if I can make two out of an 8' 2x2. I know that would be 48" and the fence panels are 50" but I sure would like to be able to get two out of one piece with no scrap (especially not a 46" piece that I can't use.) I'm having serious doubts that I can make it work, that leaves an inch on each end that the fence panel will stick out. I want it to ride inside the fence panels, but I think that will only require a quarter of an inch on each end. I think I need more 2x2's.

Okay, all you smart Old Folks, I need a math problem done. I know that the outside angles of a triangle must add up to 180o and that if the sides are all the same length the angles have to be 60o, but what are the angles of the cuts that I have circled in red? I am building my triangles out of 2x2 lumber and each side will be between 48" and 50" (yet to be determined.) I am building supports for 50" cattle panels in a trianglular tube. I plan to use this as a grow-out pen for juveniles.

You know Wisher If each of those sides of that triangle represents a cattle panel.... You really dont need to make a frame for it... Just cut the cattle panels the length you need and wire em together....

God made miter boxes for cutting angles like that-- Ok, carpenters. It is very easy to use one and you can get them for very reasonable prices.

I bought the $19.99 panels from TSC and they are not as ridged as the others I have dealt with. I plan to build a triangle for each end with doors for access and I decided to make one more for the center just to keep it a bit more stable. I will strap or wire them to the panels and they will just keep it from twisting and such. I am planning to cover the top two with chicken wire first and if I like it, hardware cloth later. The bottom section will be on the ground and I will pull it along the ground every few days. I also have plans to add a detachable coop that I can secure them in at night, since the chicken wire covered panels will not stand up to a coon. I am relying on my LGD to keep them away, but would feel better if they were locked away safely at night.

My DH gave me a laser guided electric miter (radial arm) saw for Christmas, year-before-last! I love it! All I have to do is set the dial to the angle I need - I just had to know that angle - and it will be easy to do the actual cuts.

Where is the exit?

Perfect!
