couple more from today... easing the doghouse in place. I had to take the truck out of the shop and turn it around to do this... I am officially a weak old man... I can't push the truck around (even on dollys) any more. There is a little slope at the house and at the shop so the rain water will run down the center of the drive... With almost all the weight now on the truck... it's heavy. Had to use my ZTR to pull it around and face it into the shop... it's hard being a sissy.

My never failing, ever present helper (cherry picker) was right there to help me, Four tie down straps, some towels and a couple of I-bolts and it's almost in place... waiting for the paint on the bolts/washers/nuts to dry... the cherry picker has never let me down... well, unless I turn that little hicky to do it on purpose.

It is really exciting to see your truck come together!
