Uh Oh - Door Damage

We had had warnings of severe weather coming for a couple of days.  Last night we did get a very small amount of rain - about a tenth - and had strong wind for about a minute and a just a little hail.  The worst of the storm, including a tornado, missed us.  

This morning when Tim got here to take a load of corn to town, he noticed that the bottom of our south shed door was bent in!  Not good, especially when the combine is inside!  It turns out that when they installed the doors they forgot to put in the bottom bolt on both sides.  Bill has called the door company and insurance and was able to get the combine out the east door.  Two of my big flower pots were blown over.

They finished the combining the last load from here at our house and have moved to the next field north of Bill's mom's.  After lunch at Tim & Bette Jo's, I hope to get back to ripping if it's dry enough by then.  The sun is out so it should be.  I'm now a field and a half behind the combine.

I took these pictures with my old camera so I hope you can click on them to make them bigger.
You can see that these doors have some "pockets" that are coming loose too!  The company says they're having a problem with doors and hope to have it figured out and a new one to us in the spring!

Bill started building one of the lofts just before we started combining.  The heating guy also came and and hooked up the gas for heating.  I have another post to do showing the guys doing the spray foam insulation - the green stuff.
