Because of other commitments, weather, etc. this was the first work session since mid-May. We were able to accomplish quite a bit during the week, and appreciated the help of out-of towners Marshall and Mary Jane Smith from Texas. Work centered around finishing the structure framing and drainage, as well as dismantling the interior and exterior of the car.
We have anchored the base of the structure tubing to rails with custom fabricated couplers courtesy of our resident woodworker and sheet metal worker (Craig and Tom). Drilling the holes through the rail for the bolts was the most fun. It appears that the structure won't be going anywhere anytime soon. On the left, we have installed the last of the drainage pipe around the structure, and spread gravel around the work areas to try to combat the adherent clay that accurs after a rain. It is hope that we will be able to install the cover over the frame in the next month or so. It will be custom cut to fit the dimensions we have.
