Mike and Pikey showed up mid-morning and quickly rigged a 2x4 ramp from the roof edge up which the cupola can slide to its foundation at the roof peak.  The plan was to hoist the cupola as high as the Kubota’s folks will go, lift the cupola onto the staging, pick the cupola up over the roof edge, then slide the beast up the ramp to the roof peak.  Great plan!  Only problem is that it started snowing (yes, s∙n∙o∙w∙i∙n∙g) in the midst of getting ready, making the roof much too hazardous to be working on.
