Lifting In Our 300 lb Water Tank, 4/2/17

Remember our water tank? If not, you can Click here.

Today I'm sharing two videos I just created to tell the story of how we, uhm, how CAI lifted our 300 lb water tank into AtLast, essentially single-handedly.

As a bonus I added a 3rd video at the end.  It's CAI splicing rope for a block.  He needed another block during the big move, so without skipping a beat he sat down and made one. 

I hope you like it!






CAI splicing rope for his "deadeye".
A deadeye is an item used in the standing and running rigging of traditional sailing ships. It is a smallish round thick wooden disc (CAI's is made of Delrin) with one or more holes through it, perpendicular to the plane of the disc.
