This was a pain in the ass to do by myself.

This was an even bigger pain in the ass.

But it's better than laying on my back on that filthy floor getting all kinds of crap in my face when I clean up the old rivet sealant. Only a few are leaking but I think I'm going to do them all. Just because it's such a pain in the ass to get off the trailer and flip it.

And I have no idea how in the sam hell I'm gonna get it back on the trailer. Good opportunity to do some surgery on the trailer though. Except it's outside in the freezing damn cold.

You need a boatisserie.

 

[Duck]

You need a boatisserie.

It would've been way easier with another guy there.

Preferably someone under 65...my dad would have had a heart attack trying to lift that. It's way heavier than it looks. I really don't know why either, it's just aluminum. Big heavy hardwood slab in the transom but whatever.

Call Spock an' tell him ta bring the anti-gravs.

 

[Duck]

Um, yeah, ok that's not gonna happen because he's dead.

That, and the whole fiction thing.

Did some billybobbigrigger pee on your Wheaties last weekend?

I'm surprised you don't have a forklift, tractor with a front end loader, gantry crane, engine hoist, block and tackle, chain fall or overhead crane. Lifting stuff by hand is city folk lifting

I have a tractor with loader and an engine hoist. Neither are useful for this.

You need to build a jib boom then. Maybe a spreader bar, too. I coulda picked that up in under a minute with my loader.

Either a spreader bar and strap or 4 chains running to the jib. Easy

Yeah... I coulda picked it up in a minute with my loader and some straps too...

Outside where there's actually room to do that.

Then drag it across gravel and cement and tear it all up getting it into the shop.

You do things funny. But hey, it's your raft/boat.

Yeah let's just rip a fucking wall off of the side of the building so there's room for a tractor to hoist a boat off the trailer. That makes way more sense.

 

[Electric Chicken]

Yeah let's just rip a ****ing wall off of the side of the building so there's room for a tractor to hoist a boat off the trailer. That makes way more sense.

Sounds good to me. But it's your shed not mine.


I'll volunteer to do the ripping. Here, hold my beer.

Do you even know what a jib boom is?

 

[Duck]

Do you even know what a jib boom is?

Yeah but I don't have one. I have a bucket. And it's not going to reach center mass unless it's grabbing it from the side. So yeah, let's just rip the wall off the building.

 

[Ontario Outlaw]

Yeah but I don't have one. I have a bucket. And it's not going to reach center mass unless it's grabbing it from the side. So yeah, let's just rip the wall off the building.

Sure. Do it your way and rip a wall off.

My way, I'd have it picked up with my jib and be done in a minute. I have an 8' and a 4'

But hey, good luck! Keep doing things the hard way

How about I just buy a helicopter to lift it? I'd have to raise the ceiling a few feet, but it's easier than dusting off some atrophied muscles and doing it the grunt way, right? Makes SO much sense.

Yeah I'll keep doing it the way that doesn't require buying any expensive equipment or tearing the building apart.

Do you have a welder?

 

[Duck]

Do you have a welder?

Yeah. But I'm not going to stop and fabricate a crane boom in the middle of a different project just to perform a task I can do with my bare hands in 5 minutes.

 

[ironpony]

So yeah, let's just rip the wall off the building.

Waitin' fer th' show ta begin...
