There is a delay in getting the double cublicles....the boys who were making them wanted more money for the job they said the price of steel has gone up since they priced the job...you nearly know the rest of the story . . . of course the farmer wasn't going to pay extra and he told them to f#># ### etc. . etc..so he is waiting for the new guys to make them now so he ordered the cow mats while he was waiting for them..few photos of the boys unloading them -
