Today, (Monday) started a bit slower but Fred got the crew going and we finished the east wall nailers. Work then started down the back wall and progressed to the last window where we stopped in order to move the metal staging out of the way. By that time, the rest of the plywood arrived and the track trestle crew had come back to Sheepscot. Some of the fellows, especially crew chief Dana wigwam got right into the garage job helping finish the roof sheathing. Everyone who worked on the roof noted the nice view, one can see most of the yard from the shop to the water tank.
The next part of construction will be putting wind braces into the back (north) wall and working on the roof. The roof work we hope to finish soon includes: trim the sheathing back, install the rake boards and overhang bracing, set the drip edge and nail down the felt paper and shingles.
Much thanks goes to Fred who was our crew leader over the 4 days of the WW. He got us going each morning by setting up the electric cords, saws, ladders and the nail gun. He also explained the project to the newbies and helped people find things such as nails and carpentry tools. Around 20 volunteers worked on the project over the span of the weekend. Thanks to everyone from near and far, there was great progress on this important structure.
