Everything is done with building (shingles, flashing, fascia, etc.) and now all that is left is stuff I need to do. Painting the posts and fascia of the lean-to, grading, and adding crushed rock. I was hoping to get all of that done this weekend but we have some stuff going on that may limit my time.

I am sunburnt, man. After last winter I am glad we had an early Spring this year. I am glad to hear your area is thawing out.

I had the materials delivered and they used some sort of wood from pallets to make 'skids' for the materials to sit on up off the ground or off the truck bed. I just took the ones that would fit and wedged them into the post support holes on our pallet forks. That was one of the reasons I went with the Titan forks -- they have a place to mount upright supports so material doesn't fall back on you. Unfortunately they are *not* a standard 2x4 size -- they are shorter in both directions.

I also got most of the ground under the lean-to leveled out. I used dirt that the previous owner had taken out to build some ponds. Going to try and get some stone dropped off in the next day or two.
