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. |

Wow, it's really coming together beautifully--we enjoy the posts. (love the soundtrack, too)
ReplyDeleteCAI is a remarkable Renaissance Man!
Yeah he's pretty amazing. I'm glad you are enjoying the blog!
DeleteHoly cow. Why didn't you just throw a party and invite some big guys. You're quite clever to do this with come-alongs and block and tackle. Impressed!
ReplyDeleteNo safety rails? Is that a good reason? I think CAI likes the challenge, actually!
