Do you get mice in the car with the Bales in there?

There aren't anymore hay bales in the barn. When I parked my 40 in there about 5 years ago, I didn't check the back seat. Someone had left an almost new box of little Debbie oat meal cookies in there. Luckily those mice ate all those and didn't feast on the interior. After that I spent all summer de micing that barn. I saw a few green droppings in the vette the last time I stored it there but that was it. Last year I had it in a building in the town I live in but I decided to take it back to the barn to save money. Luckily there is no interior in the vette if they do get in there. But I have dryer sheets, and an open bottle of vanilla extract in there. That usually keeps them away. Let's hope. HahaRyan

I'm sure glad I built this crane. I have used it quite a bit. This spring I plan to build a steel one. I might make it 4 posts with wheels on it. That way it can be moved easier and should be able to lift heavier/longer objects safer. This one is a stretch on a full suburban body. You can see it in the back round. Eventually I have to pick the dark green one back up to roll a frame under it. If my brother doesn't do something with it, I'm going to have to do it so I can sell it and get the rest of my money out of it. In a couple weeks I have rented a skid loader and I'm going to load up as much as my scrap as I can. I'm tired of waiting for the prices to go up and tired of looking at it. So after I haul it in the prices will go up.Last edited by 40FordDeluxe; 01-11-2017 at 01:04 PM.
