cut test...

Took half a day to narrow down my best options on the transparent corrugated polycarbonate.  Lunched at "you know where" and they were swamped with customers today.  Shot home to clean up for a brief tour.  

Worked the afternoon away planning the final assault on the roof system.  Just had to accomplish some facet of physical labor to photograph, so I marked and cut a piece of tin to flush out the SW edge of the roof. A cutting wheel on the grinder beats the hell out of tin snips - especially for an eight foot long slice.  92,99,75,0,B

diagonally speaking...

Late start today ....chasing down breakfast and the mailman took up most of the morning. Borrowed a grinder from my closest neighbor and got to cutting away on the steel. The two sections of diagonal bracing got notched and spliced as planned. Used a narrow width cutting wheel with the loaner/grinder and just followed the marks. I must say that I am quite pleased with how they came together with just a tiny bit of finessing. Welded the parts together and finished off the day cutting the rest of the vertical support pieces. 48,65,37,0
