triple-double secrets of shell levitation
The welder is out fishing and I've been out of town this past weekend. So work on the trailer has slowed momentarily.
But here's a few fun photos of the levitation. The first photo shows the shell "floating" 5, count 'em, 5 cinderblocks high off the ground on the right hand side! That's about chest level for me. The left-hand side is 4 cinder blocks high. Believe it or not the trailer is level in the photos in spite of appearances due to the grade of the driveway.
The second photo shows the location of the jack just below the 4x4. This was the only jack I used during the entire process. The actual lift was done entirely solo --one man. The jacking point was just inside each cinder block column directly below the 4x4. Note the small level on the 4x4 which I quickly learned was a very important consideration in the process of lifting a shell this high of the ground.
And a couple of photos taken from behind the curbside and roadside columns. And finally photos of the foremost jacking points street-side and curbside shown from the inside.
