Yeah lots of small parts many I found on Amazon and a few others at 2 local hardware stores.
It's been a couple of months of searching for quality pulleys and all the little parts.
The camper shell only weighs 600lbs but the hoist parts are rated for 1,500lbs or more.
The unknown is the the max weight carrying capacity of the 2x10 ceiling rafters.
At least it helps that every other ceiling rafter is a doubled 2x10.
Long ago I had an engineer spec my storage loft and doubled 2x10s were required for the anticipated static weight on our 20x20 storage loft.
Hopefully 24 hours from now the hoist project will be completed....
Then it's back to the garden, like to give everything another shot of 20/20/20 fertilizer.
Your yard lighting projects are interesting and I hope to find time to do the same soon.
Late spring here, have not seen the sun much in 6 weeks.
