Kyle's Latest

He never sits still.

Linda's next project for him was to have him
tear off the giant roof from the two large
buildings (without sides) he built 10+
years ago with Doug.

Back then, they didn't really know what 
they were doing. Doug (King of Scrounge)
got a bunch of telephone poles so they
used those to hold up the roof.
And Kyle put the metal panels on.

None of it is square.
And all of it was "sketchy".
He used to come home with a big grin
and "You want me to tell you what I
did today???" Usually I preferred NOT
to know.
It usually involved death defying stunts.
He LOVED every minute of it.

But now he's NOT a stupid teenager anymore.
So this time he rented the proper equipment
and is doing it ... well... safe - er.


He put up all the frame work using that red scissor lift.
It allows him to pop up between the cross beams and
screw them rather than trying to balance on TOP of them.


The roofs are pretty TALL.


This afternoon he put up the first 3 metal panels.


Using this new guy he rented this morning.


It can lift much heavier loads much higher.
And drive around on uneven surfaces.
(The little red guy can only go on concrete
and because the floors aren't perfectly level,
it kept going over its "tip point" and
shutting down. NOT useful...)


The buildings are pretty close to Linda's new house...
so his ability to maneuver is tight...
But he's getting it done.
