Today was a big day, and for everybody concerned. Today was the day when Chinook was going inside the shed and the guys were going to be able to close the doors for the first time in over a year! Yes, it has been that long. That said, we are now making up for lost time and the grand old lady was pampered and gently coaxed into the operating theater for the plastic surgery she has needed for some time now. Forgive the word "plastic", we won't be using any of that! As you can gather, it was a successful day, and I have to say that I was impressed with the technical knowledge and general investment of all the Tunisians involved of which there were many. And then I started thinking about pyramids and all that Egyptian stuff. So while giggling to myself, I told the lads that we didn't need the tractor, and that we should just push her inside like in the good old days! Have a look at the pictures and you will see what I mean. (Link is under "Favourites")
Tomorrow I plan to spend the day fine tuning the levelling of Chinook and the setting up of the baseline as accurately as possible. A very challenging task as finding valid reference points on the structure is not easy considering her age and hard life.
