I need a welder

Ask and you shall receive. Thanks to my wonderful new warehouse roommates, they have access to a welder. There is a fear that the head and paw have so much weight on them that once attached the tiger will fall over. Also, there is no way to raise the tiger with the head and paw on as it is so much weight in the front. So, I have hired a welder to come in and give it extra support. I am doing this for no other reason than to see the entire cat together an get approval. It only needs to stay like this for a couple of days and then it comes all down again.

Grant, a young intern is put on the hoist- he  lifts and lowers as needed for the welders to fit the extra support in place.

A support is added to the right leg. You must not look at the weld. I don't think that applies to photographs.

There is a support added to the left leg

While I wait I scrape off the clay from my sneakers. Sometimes it gets so bad I stick to the floor.

One more support coming under the arm
