I did all 6/12 metal roofs...wouldn't go any other way. Super insulation in the house and shop and none in the hanger...fun to watch the "roof race" and see which sheds snow first...almost always the hanger. Sun heats the inside and off it goes. It packs pretty hard when it hits falling 12' or 16' depending where it comes off the roof and hard to move with the loader...blower won't touch it. It just melts away in April anyway.

I've been looking at a Ricon 14" but a friend says he has the 10" and unless you need big re-saw capability it's just not necessary. He stresses the quality of the Ricon brand for the money...I think the 10" is around $500 plus some extras...gotta have extras. The 14" I'd put on wheels so I can push it into the corner when I don't need it. The 10" is table/bench mount. I'd probably make a table on wheels like my planer...pull it out when I need it and it goes under a trap when I don't. I have some Grizzle tools like a metal lathe and mill and other small stuff but they want too much to ship. Rockler is free plus a small "handling fee" and they are pretty good to deal with.

28 with lite snow in the PM with a high of 40 so it's not staying anywhere. We are pretty much in normal temps for November except when those folks up North shove some cold air down...gotta watch them!!

Damn Canadians. 😂😂
I was in a friends shop the other night when we went to supper. His shop was in a Shop magazine on the cover. He has a little re saw . About a 1” blade. Expensive to replace the blade.
Two other couples that come to the camp in the summer with their bikes. Good people.

Laguna is the make of the bandsaw/re saw I saw the other night. He said the re saw blade is $170 us. Carbide.
Hope it helps.

31...rain or snow...can't make up it's mind. May turn to snow later or warm. This is from Hawaii so I can't blame the Canadians.

We’ve had a heavy frost every morning except last night. It was 50 degrees overnight. Now it raining. Rain and warm temperatures all day.
Nice on the weekend and rain all next week. Guess I got the roof done just in time.

I like pineapple and those chicken roasted stick things they sell on the beach!!

34F and rising ...still falling as wet snow...won't last too much longer....maybe...Nope...it quit...maybe 2".

Got us another fine beautiful fall morning. Warming from the frost already. The cold snap has the yellow leaves dropping like gold coins. Very pretty morning with bright blue sky and sunshine ☀️ 😎

We had a dusting on the roofs yesterday. It is pouring rain now. Hopefully that was it for the snow this year.

Hi Remi. Hope all is well. And you can keep the snow there. Please. Haha. We are supposed to get rain all next week. Heavy Monday and Tuesday. We didn’t change tires over yet. Probably Saturday, but being over 50 all week, maybe next weekend.

Watching a college football game. Southern Miss at LA Tech . People in the stands are dressed in winter jackets and blankets. How cold could it be. Haha. @Mopower58 what’s the temperature down there.
And how are you doing.

It’s supposed to get down to 36 tonight. It’s a wet cold down here with the humidity! We are doing good, hope y’all are.

We are good. It got down to freezing last night here. Heavy frost this morning. My brother is at the camp. They are supposed to get up to a foot of snow in snow squalls today. First snow, it would be great hunting, if he goes out of the camp. Haha
Always good to hear ya Mopower.
Have a great day.

I was thinking that 36 for us isn’t that bad, but 36 for you guys would be cool. Stay warm.
