Donny not sure where you might rent or borrow jacks like these. Renting may be expensive for a long term project. I have 2 other tall jacks I welded up. But these are easier to use. You are right about setup. Easy on concrete. I had to wrestle with these on dirt ground. They are heavy. They will stay put to support the worse side of the roof. I’ll use 2x4 lumber T posts to support the rest as I replace the wood. Fortunately the 4x4 posts are all in good shape. Rain is my problem now. Have to wait until next week for some sunshine.
I’m done doing shingle roof work. I get a crew for that now and I’m good to go now for a few years. The barn is metal panels and will go up fast once the roof structure is repaired
I got to work on my foamy yesterday. Just a little bit more on the airframe then on to the electronics. Rain gives me time to work on the foamy.
