Worksite preparation and car restoration are now considered separate projects, although we all may be working on one or the other at different times depending on need. We received the correct poles for the shelter structure this week, and have begun the process of setting them so that they will be stable and not sink into the ground under load. In the upper photo the project engineers are conferring as to the best way to accomplish this, as well as waiting for the ground to thaw a bit. The sunny side (shown) is not too bad, but the other side is in the shade, and will be somewhat more fun. The photo below on the right shows the hard working crew preparing the foundation.
We welcomed two newbies, Tom and Ray (not Click and Clack) in the photo, above, left. They are Tom Fitzgerald and Ray Hoppe who are working on the car restoration project today. They have been removing old wood which will need replacing, as well as showing more details about the construction of the car. On the right is a portion of the plan in the area that they are working. They and Craig also began removing more of the clerestory windows, most of which are original, with etched glass. Some have been replaced with plain glass, but all will be etched when we are done. To be continued....
