Back at it...

After a week of vitualy nothing being done, I did some cleaning and organizing in the garage tonight in preparation for tomorrow - the sun is scheduled to make a showing as is my circular saw. Come hell or high water, if I do nothing else, I am cutting some deck...

Anyway, here's the hanging coaming. Each end of the line is attached to an eye bolt, then run up through the blocks hanging from the rafters. I end up with a "loop" in the middle which I pull to raise the coaming. It does raise evenly with this setup, but now the tricky part is keeping the two lines together as I pull, but, as I said, at least it can raise evenly.

A thicker rope would help, but I'm calling this setup "good enough". Thanks, Scott.
