More steel - 8-4-12

Work continues fitting and drilling the steel.  The holes for the tie rods fit fairly well with minimal redoing.
Rich and Tom are working on the splice in the sill that had been done prior to our acquiring 470.  We replaced the bolts above Tom's toes recently, and there will have to be accommodation made for them in the steel on this side.
The bolts were removed and the steel put in position so that the drill sites could be marked through the sill.
Tie rod holes have been drilled in the piece on the left.  Note the flex in the sill on the left that has been blocked up.  The steel should correct the misalignments.
