a fairground life

The floor is completely constructed now. A couple of days over my guestimate. It only takes a couple of seconds to cut a plug off, but several minutes to re wire one and that is what I have been doing all around the flooring. Now all new wiring is attached to the floor for the spotlighting and speakers around the ride. This is how the last couple of days have been spent.My wife came in last week, she said have you done the floor? It looks exactly the same! I thought (to myself of course) if it didn't look the same then It would have been done wrong! "r" has been helping out at night after his uni classes. "b" has been there working along side me everyday. He is in every morning just after 8am, nearly a full hour before me. The new handrails are started by way of all the steel being cut to size.It will only take a day to weld them all up. Then we will have to fit them. I hope to get the ride stripped for NDT testing this week too. When all the mechanical stuff is finished we will start painting.
