Well, first - Ron, I miss those days and that music too. I was actually listening to Peace Train. Remember that one? :-) and the one "I love my dog". Old, the wall is made of old, old tongue-and-groove wood that was originally in a barn, then made into a garage in town, that was then torn down and all the boards given to one of the people at our ranch (by the guy I am giving the loader to, to fix for his brother in fact). Anyway, the person he gave it to doesn't need all that wood and she said I could use it to fix my shop. The whole barn is way too big to heat, so I am trying to put a wall behind the work table to make a sort of "corner" where I can at least warm it a little -- no insulation at all in the building, it's the same temp as outside. Period. So I laid my selected very long, very old boards on a metal frame on the floor to nail it all together. But I underestimated the weight of all that wood. So when I stood it up and started to try to slide it into place -- well, you get the picture. It was not pretty, several boards fell off, a bunch of tools got sort of exploded around the shop area by falling wall, etc etc. On the other hand, it looks good now. After I screamed for help! LOL Took two of us, and the other one is strong as an ox. Thank goodness! Adventures in tractor repair! Yikes!
