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.
What–me worry?
