WORK SESSION B - May 28, 2013 - Part I

Unread postby Ted Smith » Tue May 28, 2013 6:41 pm

The volunteers in Antonito and Chama continue to make significant progress on various projects. On the Antonito Car Shelter project, all of the purlins have been lifted onto the roof and team members are now fastening them. The new metal roof on Cook Car 053 is almost completed. In Chama, the RPO 054 restoration project is moving forward; three new gates have been constructed for the stock pens; and the team working on the drop bottom gondola are installing flooring. New flowers have been planted in the planters on the east and south sides of the Chama Depot!

You can surely tell that the Friends' volunteers are in session!

Here are some photos:

Good progress is being made on the "Cinder Bear" rider gon. The "Trex" flooring is going down along with new 2 x 12's o the sides. The bottom new pieces had to be cut down to about 2 x 10 size because of the 2 x 4's that were added to the bottom of the floor.
