Fire in the hole!
Gotta ask, is that a Monza in your avatar?
Of course it’s a Monza. 
I had a 77 Skyhawk, Buick brother to the Monza. Had a Buick V-6 I built, w a 5 speed and no mustang ever saw anything but tail lights! Had a low profile blower so everything stayed under the hood.Of course it’s a Monza.
It was fun until some idiot rear ended me and totalled it out
Nice ride, give you $100.00,

I had the silo painted, currently have close to 5 miles of roads under construction plus 70 vacation homes. This old hillbilly is quite busy!
A few of the vacation homes we have under construction.
I’m crushing all of our own rock on site for roads and pad building
In looking at the trusses made around here and hearing what a friend, who's worked around lumber mills told me about seeing trusses full of bug borers and knots, seems to me it would be better to chose your own clear lumber and make a much stronger rafter system. Since we built our home the cost and quality of lumber have really gone bad. The lumber mills here in S.W. Oregon can't even handle large diameter logs anymore, so #1 lumber looks scary, if it's not all nailed up quickly it starts looking like an airplane propeller. In looking at what Hashbrown is putting together, his quality of lumber and work done are outstanding, sorry I can't say the same for a lot of homes being built in our area, I can't imagine seeing what kinds of shrinkage is going on in fancy homes built with green, soaking wet lumber.
