The curtains have been installed in Barn 4 to keep the eastern two-thirds of the building relatively warm for work during cold weather. This is basically the same as the system used in Barn 2.
One of the current major projects is the 306, of course. Here John is working on painting up the rebuilt seat frames.
And in the barn,
Gerry and
Phil are getting the door motors to work. Here's the main compartment, with lots of new interior paneling.
They demonstrated the door motor for me, but with the clamps to the drive shaft loosened so the door leaves don't actually move while adjustments are being made. But it's bound to work. I can't wait!!!
And Tim was installing two more of the newly varnished ceiling panels in the 1268, with some help from Steve Iversen, Gerry, and me.
This is going to look great.
Finally, I need to level with you. It's always been obvious (if you're there in person) that the Jewell Road shelter was sort of tilted, and the temporary blocks it was sitting on were torquing the structure. That's the sort of challenge I like, so I calculated the required lifts required at each corner, and made blocks at home to insert underneath. Then with a small jack and sufficient leverage, I was able to raise it up to a more level position. Using an ordinary carpenter's level, this is probably the best you can do. For its permanent location at the corner of Jewell Road and Diamond Lane, we'll have the use of more accurate leveling tools to provide a secure and level foundation.
And then I had some time to do more interior painting.
That's all for today, folks!
