Our builder called me last night on the way home from work and gave me really good news. Looks like we will be able to build within our budget and get exactly what we want!
I hope he can help you out with the pole barn Andrew!

Crap, sorry Jimmy. I listened then finished the crap I was doing, forgot to respond.

Hard to really hear it, but it sounds like a rod bearing.

I stopped by last night, sounds like something in the outdrive, driveshaft, either u joint or gimble bearing. He's got the service manual, Jim's going to do some light reading and we'll pull the outdrive for confirmation of what failed.

That is Awesome news Torr! Congratulations, He called me last night too, he is stopping by tonight to give me an estimate on the barn we will see if it falls into the right budget and what size I can fit in the area I want it in.

Possible for sure. Impossible to see back of engine without some disassembly though.

Glad to hear real estate it's going better up north. All goes well we'll have 2 barn and 1 house warming GTGs.

Sorry, shop foreman is out getting a kidney stone surgically removed, which means no breathers for me. Just a quick fly by while scarfing a sandwich......

I was supposed to meet up with Andrew today after I made a quick stop at a customer's. Ended up being there almost 5 hours!
Tomorrow I'm in jail, so no cell signal for me.
