Today was a big day.  And

quite a beautiful one at that.  Clear blue sky, warm temperature and just a few mozzies.

Harry from Northwest Radiator pulled up with his portable welding gear mounted on a trailer.  After taking careful measurements, he cut the ends of the  “legs” to match up with the angle of the arch.

We put scaffolding up on the North/West corner so Harry could get to where he needed to work.

Look Ma, No Hands.

Now we get to do this all over again on the West side.
