An-D Lifter Update a.k.a Cut The Rope

FYI This is the 150th post on Pekema Projects.

As I mentioned in my previous post about the An-D Lifter, the ropes aren't actually doing anything since we had the table to support the cover.
The ropes were starting to look tattered due to exposure to the sun, so I decided it was time to remove them.  I figured I would remove the eye screws too, since they have no purpose without the rope.  On top of that, the one in the walkway is a toe-stubbing hazard.


To my delight, I discovered/remembered the tip of my driver broke off in one of the screws when I installed it, so I had to go to some effort to remove it before I could get the screws out.

Blown Up BMW

Wagon Wall


I finally got tired of the wagon always being in the way, so I decided it was time to find it a permanent storage location.

There was a nice rafter begging to be used, and the handle could slip right between the cargo carrier and the TV box.

I think it turned out well:
