Final Resting Place

Perhaps to be unearthed by archeologists many years into the future...

There's a trim issue and a level issue, and maybe even a little composition issue. We may need a notes call down the line, but for the time being it's out of the way and on display. Now if we can just manage to keep it out of the Christmas show and convo and outreach and, and, and...

We bolted on the cheater bar that was clamped, shot a few staples into all the joints, scabbed the two major joints - one with glued & screwed ply and the other with a bolted steel plate. Overall not much prep. The lifting turned out to be no big thing at all as we managed to employ the bull winch from the Chosky in my first non-counterweight system application. I'll have to remember that for the future because it worked real well. In the end we needed to modify the sling attachment up front to keep it from pitching over, sort of like side-arming a pipe to keep it from rolling. A nice project actually for rigging and carpentry.

I wonder if it will still be there tomorrow.
