8.16.07 Work Session


Today was a extra work session on Thursday to paint the shed and I found the guys had added two skylights in the roof. A view thru the building showing the end siding panels still need to be installed.
The east end of the building is still in need of some panels. Dave Foster kicking out the excess stone at the base so we could put a board at the bottom for overspray.
Dave waiting as George Davidson moves the ladder and George Metts digs some narrow cut-off panels out of the pile. We have the end to finish paneling.
George is nailing the drip strip between panels before we put up the lower ones. George is cutting the panel on a diagonal to fit the slope of the roof at this end of the building.
We got the rest of the panels at this end in place while george D. and Dave worked at the other end. George cutting a narrow section that is needed over the man door at the other end.
Dave loosening up the drip strip so we can slide the lower panel up under it. George climbed up into the end trusses to nail backer strips through the siding.
Lew Fowler handed the material up to George who then nailed it in place. When we went to the station for a work break I found Edith Hacker diligently painting the back of the station.
I think I'm being warned off with the camera, she looks dangerous with that roller. Dave Foster is using an airless paint sprayer to apply paint to the wall panels.
George and Lew watch as Dave paints the upper section toward the peak. Dave spraying the side wall just before I took over because we are in need of more paint which Dave is going to go out and buy.
The painting is all done with the primer coat and it looks pretty good. While waiting I checked into what Dick Clark was doing and found him setting out signs about the track.
Dick showed me what the Wednesday track crew got accomplished yesterday with the new culverts at High Creek to elimate a blockage problem with debris during heavy rain. The crew reworked the track to the turntable.
WHAT'S THIS????????? EASTWIND!!!! Must be a bad section of track that Eastwind won't or just can't stay on the track and Dick put the sign up as a warning for Frank to go slow thru here. Yah, think?
