We got 3 of the 4 receivers TEMPORARILY bolted in place to the clips on the building. I'll come in behind and weld them up, after we set the three pipe columns and secure the downhill ends all level and parallel. Yes, I scratched the blue trim; I have touch-up paint. the (2) receivers on the ends will be open to each other, the two in the center will be open to the two on the ends. The purlins will sit inside the receivers on both ends.
It's a BIG hassle to set up the generator, rig up the pigtail, haul out the welder and set it up, then weld them up. This is a quick means of getting the pieces in place as a starting point, till everything is properly aligned.

Used the Skyrack to get the (10) purlins up on top of the container, then I temporarily installed the first one (with screws) to stop the receivers from laying twisted by their own weight.
Much better to see them parallel and upright rather than twisted. I need to get with it and "plant" the columns in concrete.
