One unexpected problem...

When Anne and I attempted to add weight to the laminated layers the entire assembly with the aid of gravity slid toward the toe rail. It was Anne's idea to insert shims along the outboard kerf. (see image attached) Again, I'm glad she arrived to assist with this process. Once we added all the bricks C'est la Vie had a 5 degree list to starboard.
Tomorrow we will grind out and fill the seam between the repair and the existing deck. This is an imprtant step because structurely it ties the repair to the rest of the deck.
more to come...
