The new oak top planks are blooming heavy!

I decided to replace the uneven, cracked and partially rotten top (scaffold) planks with wider and thicker green oak planks, They were very heavy to lift into place and John Tuck and Houston Bone were pressed into helping me.
Old top planks and sheets removed.

It was a bit of a struggle-cum-balancing act to get the larger of the two planks up onto Christina, thanks Houston!

The rear block needs to be cut to follow the line of the sheets and the top planks need cutting to length and dovetailing, no mean feat with chunks of oak this big.
