But no drip pans or diapers under No. 7 yet. Now the floor is stained.
Better sooner than later, I guess. It's like a new car. "The first dent is the hardest."

Reminds me of the older Harley Davidson motorcycles.  They always "marked their spot".

Wouldn't be a Baldwin if it didn't leak a little oil...

Just like a Detroit if it’s not leaking oil somethings wrong!

I flew in a Chinook helicopter a few times while I was in the Army. I pointed a leak out to one of the crew members. He said 2 things. "Don't sit under it" and "if it ain't leaking we ain't flying". I watched it drip the whole flight..guess we had enough oil 😉

Thanks, Brendan--great story told through photos.  An important project that perhaps gets a bit lost in the other big projects underway.

This enhances the public exhibition space established by the car barn extension.
We want...A SHRUBBERY!  One that looks nice, and not too expensive.
