Sled run: construction session 4
Several things have conspired to keep me from working on my sled run the last 2 weekends: My son broke a window in the house last weekend, took me half a day to replace it. I did manage to get in just a little bit of work on it though. This weekend, he turned up sick (puking sick) and I've been stuck inside most of the time caring for him while the Wife has had to work. And... there's ice and snow in the forecast for next weekend! This might be my last chance to get this thing done before the snow.
I did manage to get in a couple hours on it this afternoon. In haste, I've gotten sloppy, slapping together and screwing down wood as fast as I can. I just hope I've been liberal enough with the wood to make up for any structural deficiencies. I've finished the understructure "ribs" of the first main curve now. I don't like working in the freezing cold, but I'm hoping to get out there tomorrow morning and screw the plyboard down to the understructure.
Now, does anyone know where I might be able to find a good chunk of carpet remnants near Columbia, Missouri, US? I don't have enough to cover the new run. Any carpet will do. Shoot me an email at h4x354x0r@gmail.com if you can help.
