Yippee, My RV7 fuselage has finally arrived. I was expecting a quick drop off and a wave goodbye to the driver, but nothing is ever that simple. Apparently the overhead lines crisscrossing the road in my neighborhood are too low for the truck. So I meet the driver 2 blocks away and we go for a ride looking for a way in. Nope, too many low branches and wires.
Do I have a pickup truck? No. Anyone around with one? nope. ABF could get a flatbed or a different truck and deliver it later. {but, I want it noooowww}.
So, let's just slide it on top of the Jeep:![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The rack is only rated for about 150 lbs, the crate weighs 300. Of coarse, I couldn't get the thing off by myself, so I had to unpack it from on top of the Jeep.
Time to build on!
