Boy, I could have sworn that I used 16 foot 4x4s on the scaffolding. This was the launching off point for my “how to spin the boat” problem solving. I was so sure of it… I never gave it away second thought.

Well, I did use 16 footers, but those were the spans. The verticals were all 12s. Ha! Life is funny that way.

So now I get to think up a fun way to raise the roof a bit before I can finish assembling the 14 foot tall wooden spinning donuts. Should be fun.

It is days like this that I am so thankful that this is just a crazy backyard project and not a job or a consumer product. 

Viva la challenge!
