Skin Graft, Day 5

Not too much joy to start the day.
No one had come up with "magic" solution for the corners and lift point openings.
I decided to just cut back all around the openings and silicone in some protective plastic pieces which cover up the raw edge of the plywood and make it more difficult for any water to get in.


















These are then covered with the corner angle which is cut away to "JUST" clear the opening.























I always planned to have a capping block fit into the tube to retain the lifting legs which are stored in there when not needed.
I will make the caps slightly more elaborate to match in with all the trimming pieces and hopefully it will not turn into an eyesore.


















Seeing Friday is a half day for the regular workers there was no chance of getting the rest of the metal work made this week and all the corners had been fitted so that was the end of today.
There is a chance that the owner will bend the rest of the angles over the weekend, fingers crossed, as that would mean that an early start could be made on Monday morning . . .
