Thursday, October 22. 2009CRT 1268 Update - October 21, 2009Many thanks to Kirk Warner for supplying pictures taken showing progress on several different projects as of this date.

Here you see new canvas being draped over one of the hip roof sections.  Installation Finished Now the canvas has been stretched, trimmed, and tacked down. Painting it will likely wait for the return of warmer weather. |
