Kind of an interesting story. There was a guy here in the valley who had the plans drawn up by an architect in 2017 in Yakima. He was going to build the shop with a studio apartment to live in while they built their house. He ordered the trusses in October 2018 and then they decided to move to Colorado instead (that will happen this March). So, I was able to buy the plans and trusses for a little discount over what he paid.
Here's the better part. This guy had an old Jeep he was working on and a Dodge truck. He's a true car guy and his dad has a hot rod type shop out at his place over here. We were talking Falcons and I showed him pictures of mine. On the first trip of trusses that he brought over he had to check out the car and ask more questions. A week later he brings the second load of trusses over and then says "I bought a Falcon". I chuckled. He traded his Jeep to a guy here in eastern WA for a 64 Ranchero. He's asked a few questions, has a couple of my old issues of The Falcon News and is planning on joining the Mile High Chapter when he moves.
