Brief Description:  Cutting skirts and fitting cuts

First thing I did this morning is remove the skirts to cut the back of the skirts that I marked yesterday. After cutting I put the finishing tools to them to get them finished up.

I reinstalled the skirts. Now I need to get some cuts in the skirt in hopes of getting the bottoms of the right side to sit flat. I consulted Rick yesterday and he told me of making cuts and then pushing down and then holding them with small aluminum strips and clecos. We also had conversation about the part that fits to the canopy.....great informaion.

I made cuts and inserted metal strips. The skirt got better but I was not happy with it yet. I called in another lifeline Rob Brooks to see if he had time to come over for suggestions and assistance. Rob came later in the afternoon and we mulled around ideas of attacking the problem. We made cuts that helped a little more. Finally we had to stop due to commitments I had. Thanks for all the help AGAIN Rob!

This was one of those days that walking away is what needed to be done...it was a good thing I had other obligations to tend to........this was a day where it seems that I squeezed one hour worth of work into a five hour time slot!!!!!
