As the sunny days keep coming, so do the busy days. We're really starting to move on the tower now. Also, some of the other guys are fixing up the landscape around the water wheel as this project is starting to come together.
It's kinda hard to put the size of the tower into scale, but you can kinda tell size compared to the Dean Mine and the 12 foot wide water wheel.
The sides were put up first and held up with some cross members and removable supports while we started putting in the permanent supports on the front and back.
Being as big as it is, we needed a number of straps to hold it together while we sized and bolted it.
Had some downtime between bolting together timbers so I got to put up the sun for the shower.
I've been speaking with the folks back in Denver and it looks like my time here might be ending in about three weeks. But if this sun keeps up, I might see a finished tower yet.
Later
