At long last!

So here's the way it went.

The wood is to block the top on the cart
(this'll make sense later).

Todd and the Deere lifting the top.

Holding steady.

Entering.

Needing an adjustment: the chains were too long,
so we had to put the top down, twist the straps and
wrap the chains tighter around the boom.

It's tight but it's going to fit ...

... we think. But it's tipping down and needs ...

... a counter-weight!

It's in ... basically ...

... for the most part ...

... yes, the cyclops has delivered.

As you can see, we're moving so fast here
the camera can't keep up.

Light as a feather ... 

... and ...

... it's down. 

After a strap adjustment, the cyclops will lift it again ...

Such an agreeable cyclops.

Up she rises once again ...

... let the blocking begin.

You can never have too much wood,
when you're moving stone.

If you keep your eyes shut,
you feel stronger.

It's on the cart; now Dennis, Todd, and Paul will do the work.

Actually there were a few other guys around too.

Harry's worried it might fly away.

Looking up, looking down. What exactly are we doing here.

Todd steers. 

And steers.

This might work.

But it looks like we'll actually have to lift it. 

Yup, we'll have to lift it.

But how? And when? Let's do it all together okay?
All on the same page?! 

Yes, between then and now, we lifted and walked it over,
and set it down!

Now we've gotta get it set just right.

Even more just right.
Are we all trying to do different things?
(Note the way the fingers are pointing.)

And it's on.

You don't just slide it into place ...

... you've gotta use bars and shims and rollers, and ... 

TADAAA!

Todd and Paul and Margruite thank:
Dick (he'll get paid too), Dennis, Dale, Harry, Warren, and Terry for being crazy enough to show up when we called at the last minute! We owe you!
