Well dismal failure today.

Crane person not timely replying (Am assuming they bowed out. I just met em) ... and since am FAST running out of time good weather wise..... took some folks suggestions on what might work alternative to what was planing.. Mostly cause it is faster """if it worked""""

dismal failure... broke the 2x6 spreader bar literally in half and bent slightly the ridge beam/perline of the frame.. Very shocked to have broke the 2x6 being that forces on it were purposefully applied in direction against its greatest inherent strength. (in path up the 6" width at each far end.. as opposed to pulling up its 2inch width at each end.)

Today will be packing up the tarps so they dont fill with rain. This project is over till next June. That's just how the weather works here. Really really really really... needed the out of the weather space under this to could finish engine swap on daily driver; replace alternator on LMTV then start the RV conversion on the LMTV. Such is life.... you win some....... Life's a Beach and all those things.
