In building construction they use the foam sheets instead of rolls of insulation in walls, ceilings Ect.. Some have metal backing some just metalic paper.

Look inside a shop at a T/A. Or. CAT depending on what building your in.

I didn't use the terminology for the type of builds, don't need to confuse anyone.

 

Got these to get out of TX. Light load, but not worth a darn for good fuel milage, glad fuel was only 1.69 gal there today.

 

That's a nice looking tarp job you did there.

 

Thank you!

 

We rent a used car lot to store equipment at one of our job sites. I was parked for four hours waiting on a mechanic to swap a battery on a steel wheel roller. The lot owner asks me if I could put his carport on my flatbed (rollback) and move it to the other side of his building because we are going to pave his lot. I explain that it won't fit but I could pull it with my truck.



So I pull it forward, then as far back as my truck would go. But because my truck is so long and I need to keep enough room that I'm not blocked in. So I decide to put some pvc pipe and threaded rods underneath the bottom rails so it will slide easier and we can use his pickup to get it closer. That plan worked like a charm until it was time to get his truck out.



This was the first angle I tried but it just pulled his truck sideways and was going to hit the car port. Then I tried to run my cable around the hydro pole on the right but the pole wasn't strong enough and started to bend.



So I moved to the right side of the building where the car port was and pull from behind the building and car port so I can pull him straight out.





Then I moved again to pull him out the center.

Was a lot of work dragging all the chains to the different tow points on the car port and angles pulling out the truck. But he bought me lunch and threw me a twenty. But I enjoyed the challenge but it gave me something to do.
