The weather was pretty lousy this weekend but we do have the supports for the arches all set and  braced.  I also spent some time fabricating more stainless steel rebar zip ties.  Just a few more thousand to go.

There was a bit of a break by Sunday afternoon so Jeff, friend Miguel, and I got Dozy’s crane in position to raise one of the arch sections.

Even though there were just the three of us (and Dozy) we decided to go ahead and raise the arch.

After this arch section gets secured in position, we will raise the other half then bolt them together.  At that point the whole arch will be lifted into position, ready to weld the “legs” on.
