Just remember, that every little bit gets you closer to the finish. Or something like that.

Didn't get as much time to work on this weekend as I wanted I have some other stuff I had to get done. But I got the frame built to raise the floor. The whole floor will be raised just under seven inches From the back of the seat to the gate. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. I'm going on vacation next week After I get back home I'll have four days to work on it and hopefully I'll be able to pick up some steel for the new floor And tubs.
