Steel is up!

It was quite a process. The long horizontal beams were fairly heavy, about 200kg each! With Eddie, Barrie and John to help we carried the first 2 round, the third proved problematic as it has a vertical brace welded to it. A fifth pair of hands were required, as luck would have it Gordon was passing at the time and was enlisted!.
The raising of the sections was fun, 2 scaffold towers and a block and tackle, some huffing and puffing, a bit of sweating and they were up. They are now bolted together with the exception of one small section, Murray is coming tomorrow with his magnetic drill to drill some extra holes, once the last section is added I can level square and plum. Have ordered a self levelling laser to aid the process ( It is a good excuse to buy tools to play with!).
