Construction 3

03/25/03  It finally arrived - I had it shipped directly to the riggers
the mother of all shipping crates
2 hours and 2 bruised thumbs later - the top of the crate is off, the red steel floor plates have been removed, and the side of the crate is off
another hour later
the mother of all bearings
some assembly required
more stuff came in - the mother of all fans
03/27/03  It's 7:00 AM, and I'm not in bed
putting it on top of the timbers first
picking it from the top
the timbers are gone and it's being lowered
