Cheers to everybody who has contributed to the topic of supporting, framing and lifting the shell! This has definitely given me some foresight into what lies ahead. Malcolm, I really like the idea of using sandbags. I had planned on installing expansion bolts in the driveway and using climbing hangers to hold the shell down but using bags seems a lot easier and no permenant harm to the driveway.
