DAY 11
Luckily the rain stopped about 2 days before today’s build. The ground still wet and moist and the fog was still lingering after 8am. We planned to build at 9am and the build crew wasn’t going to be able to make it out today but we still needed to push forward with getting the 16ft rollin up in place. Otherwise if it warped out of place with anymore rain we would have to rebuild it.
Dan showed up and we chilled inside till things warmed up a bit more outside; it was about 42 degrees. Soon after I enlisted the help of everyone the filmer, my brother and photographer John, and was able to get my dad out to help us heave the largest part of the ramp a football field away.
Finally getting there, we dropped it in the 2ft holes and it was leaning massively forward and off balance. We propped it up with our ladder till we were able to figure out needed to be done. Digging out some dirt from the holes and adding some back in others… We were finally able to level the rollin and add its basic braces in place to midly secure it. Thanks a lot to John for sticking around and helping me with today’s build.
We had to call it after 3-4hrs, it was a pretty laid back day at the project. An since we were short 2 builders today, the cross bracing for the rollin wasn’t finished and the legs were concreted in. We’ll take care of the legs tomorrow but save the cross bracing for the next build day when we have more people to put it up faster. Only 4 more build days till the first test run! Hopefully in February it will happen.
