Thank you. I'll agree on the "talented" (who wouldn't) ;) but the patience is subjective.
I considered myself very fortunate to have a comfortable place to work and time to spend on personal hobby activity in the form of a worthwhile project. And at the same time, getting a chance to play with various tools (some of which I haven't had opportunity to use in years) to fabricate different things at a speed I can enjoy.
My biggest complaints are daytime television, another radio commercial about 1-Income Tax Relief, 2-Proactive Plus and 3-that high pitched voice of the Party Girl owner/operator of a local party supplies retail store. :/ And if I have to hear "The Boys Are Back In Town" one more time!.!.!.!. (At least "Heart of Glass" comes on to nullify now and then).
But here recently, I've taken to playing my Smart Phone playlists from my personal library collected over the years. And you know what I mean if you've ever heard George Jones'es "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes". You know, Waylon really was a music man.
Today is kind of a day of rest. For the past few days I've been hearing a little whimpering coming from the other side of the garage door. I think it's Smiley, DW's car. Hey - it IS winter!
So I'll get the roof metal up out of the way and get him back inside for a good warm-up.
I must say - the wheeled dolly I made for the camper has been such a benefit to this project in these tight quarters (relatively speaking).
I made some measurements and saw it would work - theoretically. First I shifted the metal forward and swung the camper front down behind it.

Then moved the front wall metal draped over a work table to the far end.

That gave room to slide the metal over to where it's lifting system could gain good purchase.


Back up out of the way.

And with everything back in it's place, all was right with the world.
