Oh No ! Not Again !!

Time to remove Section 2 from the Garage , Need to make room to start on the next Piece of the puzzle !



Something seems familiar about this issue ??


Luckily this section isn't as tall as the first so I was able to lower it  ( get down to the ground ) to enable for it to be removed successfully .

Time to start building the next set of Frames , one Bulkhead and four open timber frames .

Roll me Over , Roll me Over

Roll Me over and Do it again !

With Hull Section 2 complete I need to get Section 1 out of the way , this involves moving and rolling it over . To do this I have Built a Stonger Boat Cradle than would normally be required and to go with it ,  two semi - circular steel additions . Here's my boy Matthew helping  by cleaning up the welds .


Next job was to roll it over , now where's that boat gone  , must be around here somewhere ?






Moved the Hull Section 1 into the upside down cradle and started the turning process .

 
 
 
 
Bit by bit and Slowely it rolls over
 
 
 
 
 
So thats what it looks like from underneath , havn't seen that side of it before !
 
 



 
 
Half  Way now , if anything goes wrong with this I will not be Happy !
 
 
 
 
 
The Inside ( or under side ) , or What ever you want to call it
 
 
 
 
 
Now we are on the Downward slope , glad its a Big Strong Chain !   .
 
 
 
 
 
While I'm on the Chain My Daughter Sam is on the Safety lines , thanks Sam
 
 
 
 
 
 Phew , Finally over and as the Sun sets I can finally Relax
 
 
 
 
 
 
Just enough light to do a Titanic ( I'm Flying ) on the Bow ( Kids !! )
