The Koala changing station has been installed in the Men's room. Signage is now posted on the exterior door.
The board can now remove it from the work to do list! Yay!!

why the fan when the doors are right there? seems a waste with the smoke jacks in place and cooler air coming in from under the doors. how much difference can a fan that size make?

will the smoke jacks be held up just by the roof or will stays be used?

Doesn't the railway have a similar flat trailer on rail wheels? I haven't seen it in awhile but kind of remember it hauling the Kubota?

Has there been developed a "hit list" of work to be done this year? The past couple of "work week ends" seemed somewhat unorganized. (IMHO)

Eric:can you reuse safety glass from storm doors? I have a couple of panes and could bring them FWW.

now car #131. a suggestion of improvement spurred by an overheard comment on last Sat. lavender train: the upper edge of the seat back and the inner edge of the sill have edges that make it uncomfortable to lean on. Could this space (there is a gap) be covered with a rounded molding of some sort?

would a cast iron "ships" stove be usable as a car heater? I see a few on Marketplace.
