I enjoyed the pics, keep posting them. Looks like fun, compared to fabricating and welding metal buildings.

Yes, it is. The pictures reminded me of the good old time when I was an erector engineer.

Those key plates look pretty neat.... Might get to use them someday.  Where I work, we do not do a LOT of that sort of thing, so we just use "Dogs" - a piece of flat bar with a nut and bolt.... Barbaric, but effective.

Thanks for the pics.

Or 600 feet of "0000" lead and ground!

Wow, those are some are fancy keep plates! The ones we used when I was a "Tankie" in the '70s were just 2' long "T" bar with holes and notches cut out. I sure miss packing around 5 gal. buckets of bull pins and wedges up "hook ladders".
That kinda work toughens you up fast. After a 3 week job and wearing out a couple of 4# hammers, you felt like you coulda knocked out George Foreman with one punch.

Hey are you working with that crew over at the farm in midland? Great pics by the way. I always like seeing those tanks being built.
