Well we're get some more snow, not today, but 4 more days predicted. We are leaving for a month to see the kids and grandkids in Washington and Oregon. But, with the snow, I decided to put a post in on the main beam in my small side shop, 24 X 24 attached to the big shop. I built both shops, post and beam out 45 foot Cedar surplus telephone poles I picked up 40 plus years ago. Anyway they were probably 50 years old when I got them, but, still in good shape. The main beam spans the 24 feet, but it's probably just fine but, well if it decided not to be "fine" it could be inconvenient. So I whacked together a built up post and hammered it in place for piece of mind. I have another temporary post I built before, but, it's in a snow bank somewhere. Can't remember where. It's probably next to the whos-it right next to the what's-it's as Mom would say
