Putting up the cover

We spent all day yesterday putting up the cover that is going to keep the rain off the boat while it is hauled out. This will allow us to sand blast, paint and weld regardless of the weather.  It was pretty impressive to see this thing go up!  I'm hoping to be able to salvage some of the plastic to make a green house next year.  Not sure what we'll do with all of the conduit though!  As you can see from the pictures we were a little short on the sides.  I'm told that when I go back tomorrow I'll see that the guys added additional tarps and the excess plastic to either side.  The guys got that finished after I left today.

Looks a little like a circus act!

Pulling the plastic over

Trying to get it over the top.  Paul walked that boom like a balance beam all afternoon

Of course the wind blew the whole time!

Finally covered!
