A little after 1030 today, the obstacle blocking my aircraft that I have mentioned (my hangar door frame ) in previous e mails was raised and attached to the support structure. Thanks to a number of folks (in no particular order) goes to Cappy (who of course had to fly over {:>)), Dale, Bill, Radomir, Tad, Mike, and my son-in-law Bryan . These guys are the ones to call when you need a 400 lb door raised.
Thanks Guys. You made it seem easy - if I forgot anyone, I apologize and will attribute it to my excited mind.
Just a bunch more of screws to further secure the door frame to the hinged header and a 6" drill bit to drill through 3 2x4s and that part will be finished. Next phase is getting the hydraulic system ordered and installed and the final phase will be to cover the door with fiberglass roofing.
Again my thanks to all.

You are welcome old man. I flew because did not want to drive the dirt road in my clean pick-um-truck. Besides, I actually flew 1.6 hours today.
Of course the gas bill at RUQ was a pain as a result.

Went out today and finished the screwing and bolting. Knock the chocks out from under the door and it swung like on ball bearings. My spacing under the lower board and concrete floor ranged between 1 1/4" to 2" due to variation in the level of the concrete floor - so I am extremely pleased indeed.
Now, back to designing the hydraulic fittings for the rams to push on beam. I thought I might have to trim 1/2" off the ends of the beam but turned out not to be necessary.
Here's a photo.

Cool man cool. Let me know if you need any help. I will work for one of Jonie's sandwiches and the Newton's.

Thanks, Cappy.
Once I have the hydraulic fitting to bolt to the door, I can proceed. Will let you know when it fun time again.
