As the group assembled to raise the carport, one small obstacle remained: Father Qui Thac's car. Parked in the work zone (its usual reserved spot) the car might have prefered to wait for Father's return from the NCCM mission trip to Mexico. A spare key could.not.be.found. The work party, delayed for an hour or more, began to muse about using the forklift to relocate the vehicle, when fantastically, a spare key was located!
Serious man power was need to rotate the beams into position for raising.

Zachary attempts a few pull ups on the new beam; punishable by splinters.
