FRAME PAINTED

Finally the frame is painted ... for the most part anyway. The remaining axle sections will be finished at a later date. We went with the gray Por-15 as the first coat and then black as the second coat to ensure everything was covered in both coats. 

On to the next task . . .

RAISING OF THE GANTRIES!

After three weeks of rain delay we have finally, sorta of made some progress. The gantries were built and raised! 

During and between rain showers this past week we did it! The first set Tim and I raised by ourselves. On the she second set I called in reinforcements and had my step-dad come help. Thanks Papa John! We could not have done it without you. Even though we didn’t actually touch the Liner this week at least we feel progress was made. Thanks to whoever posted the plans on the AirForums for the gantry build. It was a link to a thread to a thread to another thread. Now when time comes to rotisserie the frame and when it’s time to lift the shell off the old frame we will be ready. Vergie is still patiently waiting in the background. 

Forecast has drier weather ahead for us. Yesterday stayed dry but that turned into a yard day. The grass has grown really fast with all the rain that we have had. Tim should be able to finish painting the frame today.
