Making Room for the Lower Hulls
We had to dismantle the old tent after discovering it was nowhere near tall enough for the hulls. The new, wider tent should give us room to work—and perhaps even keep it above 15°C.
Some may say that we are getting a bit distracted... truth is, we had no choice. Old small tents were 12m long (40ft) but only 3m (10ft) wide and most importantly 2 meters (just 6ft6in) high!
So after finishing preparing all the parts for lower hulls we had to dismantle them and get something more sizeable, since the hulls will be 2.6m high (8ft 6in) and 1.55m (5ft) wide. Actually Adam’s office box which we built at the same time (no more fights between us! He can work and I can sleep!) is just 4 inches (10cm) lower than hulls will be!
New tent is 20ft (6m) wide and almost 12ft (3.6m) high which should give us enough space to work - and, in contrast to the old one, is also protected from drafts giving us real chance of heating it to more than 15 degrees centigrade....
Couple more days and hulls are going up!
