Oh, yikes! Of course I meant "hard." And don't you dare make a joke about that, Steve. --- On Thu, 1/20/11, sfisher01@comcast.net <sfisher01@comcast.net> wrote:

I worked a couple of days on the SPOP observatory but for the record I was not high at the time. LOL.

That's really cool, Kim. The equivalent is where so many of the grand old-timers of SLAS (unfortunately not including me) worked so high to build the observatories. -- Joe

Date: Thursday, January 20, 2011, 12:25 PM Funny you should mention "raising" a building. A few months after we moved to Sanpete I actually assisted in a barn raising. It wasn't a traditional wood barn but what they call a "hoop barn." It is constructed of a frame of steel pipe that can be bent in a variety of shapes with a heavy fabric (polypropylene, I think) stretched over the frame. The barn I helped with was about 80' x 120'. It took about 40 of us Amish/Mormons to pull the fabric up and over the frame and anchor it to the opposite side. While I would have had more fun with a mortise-and-tenon wood
structure, at least I can honestly say that I've helped raise a barn.
I'm afraid the Amish might have difficulty with the concept of a rolling roof. When I get to that point I'll have to ask.

Yes, my cousins are old enough. So is my sister. Alas, all are married.
When Kim builds his observatory, it will be "raised" by a group of Amish men.
