October 3rd, 2005:

Once again, weather was our enemy and caused a delay. We lost several days, actually - the 29th had awful weather. Friday the 30th was better out but we had to go pick up some materials such as stainless steel bolts and hardware we need for fitting things properly, and it was dark before we made it home. October 1st was a beautiful day but we had to make the planned road trip to pick up our paint on that day and it was 2 hours away. That added up to 4 hours of driving plus time spend picking stuff up - not much gets done on days like that.

On the 2nd of October, I was exhausted but I did a little preliminary aligning to save time on the 3rd. I didn't take any pics.

Finally, on the 3rd, I aligned the 2 pieces already cut, clamped and then screwed them together with short wood screws so the edges can be evened out, the two final bits can be cut to fit, and final fitting achieved.
