Tuesday, August 16. 2011Michigan Electric 28 Update - August 14, 2011Final Roof Panel Installed and All Roof Slats Cut!!! A major roof milestone has been achieved this week. The final roof panel was installed by Ray Schmid. A mini-celebration was held on the ME 28’s roof last Sunday afternoon to commemorate the installation of the final roof panel. Pictured below: Ray Schmid and Nancy Ring celebrate the driving of the last roof panel screw. (A Jeff Brady picture.)
Nancy Ring travelled from Milwaukee and assisted Jeff Brady with cutting the remainder of the roof slats in the woodshop. Now work can begin on the roof ends where the basswood slats will be bent and nailed over the carlines. Pictured below: Ray Schmid holds the first roof slat showing it’s size. Two layers will be bent and nailed down to cover the car ends. Nancy Ring is also pictured. (Again, Jeff Brady is our cameraman.)
