Hi Mike, sorry to drop off the planet for so long.

Frame was just raised during the last two weeks of November.

Basically, the vasty majority of the work was done by four guys, though there was certainly a support crew of another 6 or 7 guys who all pitched in at some time or another.

All done in house; a couple of the guys are past members but, as far as I know, no one is a current member of the guild.

There were a multitude of reasons why we stood so much of the frame in Montana before we shipped to New York. After having raised her, I am glad we did everything the way we did because the raising went flawlessly and with no hiccups of any kind. Of course the raising was a group effort, with the clients, Kim and Steve, Kim's brother Walter, and Luke and Jason, all providing critical support and assistance to the four of us.

I haven't compiled all the video and pictures yet, but I have completed the editing of a time lapse that we went to the trouble of shooting.

Thought you guys might like to watch it; 12 days distilled down to 4:48 is always fun to watch, I think.
