Houston we have lift off!!!

Posted 11-16-2009 at 01:09 PM by PRATTMAN
Great weekend of work. Mission #1 is completed because we were successful lifting the body off the frame.

This was a slow slightly sketch process using small bottle jack in tandem with adjustable jack stands.

We began by supporting the the interior body structure by fastening 2 x 4's to the interior lower body frame ribs with screws. Then by placing the jacks under these new cross supports we slowly began to lift.

More Galley Demo

Continued demolition at the galley. Removed heater. Squirrel cage is completely full of dirt dober nests but still moves freely.

Water pump fires rite up but wouldn't move any water when bench tested. Started trying to disassemble it and the pot metal bolts started breaking. Time for a new quieter one!

All copper looks good, except for one spot where it burst due to freezing I'm sure. All new hoses where needed and should be good to go.
