Apex Repeater New Shack 3rd Work party

This is the third trip up to Apex so the work party can complete construction of the foundation for the "new" repeater shack, and raising of the new building. We rented a Budget 4x4 and Gary supplied his Explorer. All went well and we had the building erected by 4pm.
Now there is some insulation that still needs installing and the building ought to be sided and re-roofed, but structrually it's all good for many years.
