With this progress, and a spare hour or so tomorrow in between meetings, I hope to raise the tub and start figuring out what is to become of her. I'm buoyed by the fact that I share accommodation with not only a car trimmer, but a metal fabricator who has already shown some interest in helping out when required
Hopefully more photos tomorrow.
