Thanks to a few hours of sunlight this morning, much work was done on the exterior. Fred began by shoveling a lot of snow away from the east side of the garage. He then, along with others set up the staging so we could install he battens. Double deck staging was required in the center to get the battens in the gable above the window. Zack cut the required pieces for each batten which changed in length as we worked from back to front. By lunch time the job was 3/4 done. It was completed by 1:00 so we took the temporary work bench down, making more room between the work bay and center bay. With that done, some of us were able to leave a little early to prepare for the next snow storm.
The crew included: Zack, Fred, Start, Bill R., Randy and Steve Z. (who went for a box of nails so we could finish the job). The mobile Garage Rat, Mike worked on the backhoe on the tractor and then ran the machine, clearing snow piles around the campus.
It was a very productive day!
