I had to get working on the boat storage ready before the intense Arizona heat kicks in. The boat is still down, but that's next. It took a while to figure out how i wanted to raise my structure to fit the tower. I settled on welding 5' extensions to the poles. It was a shot load of work with many many hours welding. It was moving nearly an inch with 20+ mph winds so I'm heading back out next weekend to triangulate it. I plan to add a garage door next winter. Now i just need to get the boat back together!
