Well, it started off with rain this AM. So any painting was put off until July 12. Vaughn made it and finished the handles and they work GREAT!
There are a few things to do. 1) we need to paint the handles and finish the touch up painting that we didn't get to do today; 2) Vaughn is going to adjust the seats back (they are spot welded in place) as they are too close to the handles and they can't be used effectively w/o bruising your knees; 3) We are going to put a locking ring on the railing so that guests won't be able to play with it.
All of this will be completed on the 12th, assuming Vaughn can make it down.
I've included a couple of photos. One is of Vaughn, the second is the new handles. SWEET!!
