Default Go fly a kite.

You've not only got to hold them up, you've also got to hold them down.
A friend had the same thing happen at Guyra. The implements were huddled together on their own and the shed flattened out on the paddock some distance away with the concrete footings still on the ends of the posts.

Default Recovery.

I can see Keith doing a border raid to recover his cab 12.
That's not what you need at this time of year. Good luck!

The shed was going to be partially dissembled this winter to add new stronger posts, my plans may now need changing.
The good news is the blitz was untouched, the bad news the header is now outside and it has many moving parts made of wood and canvas.
It took a while to get close to the blitz as it was well guarded by angry paper wasps.

That's bad luck Robert. I guess the replacement will be longer, wide and higher.LOL Hope you were insured. See you next week.
Regards Rick.

Default Uh-oh!

Yes, a border raid looks to be in order! Maybe bring a few cans of insecticide.

Sorry to see this has happened Robert!

The shed will not be rebuilt, I picked up the keys for the retirement block today. We sell our farm in March 2018 then build on the new block. Pictures to follow when I go exploring on Friday.

Hope the sale and move goes well for you Robert. Looks like things are really going to happen for you and your family in 2018.
