Lion's Whelp is tucked half under a huge "I" beam which is the crane's rails for the building. We had originally thought that we were going to have to move her out into the center of the bay. We hated the extra work. We eventually saw that if we put the deck house and cockpit unit on the fore deck we could roll it under the" I" beam and get it back to where it belonged.	Inches to spare. but a miss is as good as a mile!
The Deckhouse and cockpit has a truss strong back to keep it from bending. The rollers were pipes on the deck.	It is almost in place.
The cockpit is in place, the strong back removed and our engine lift crane is in place as we drop the cockpit and deck house onto the boat.	It fits! Of course peter knew it would all the time but I think I saw a sigh of relief.
Stepping back and seeing the house and cockpit for the first time.	The main cabin scuttle and deck boxes about to take the ride up to the deck.
