We don't want anyone to touch the original sign as that would likely cause damage to the artifact or to people.  Jon Habegger and Mark Gellman testing barrier ideas  Mark cutting wood for the barrier in the 1st Exhibit Car  Jon and Mark fabricating a barrier to protect an artifact  Jon captured this shot of the barrier progress Before lunch Kevin primed one side of the vestibule closet door. Right before the end of the day's work, Shelly primed the other side of the door.  Kevin priming the vestibule closet door After lunch Ray and Michael Baksic worked on the kitchen floor area in the Birmingham. There is a bit of a step which needs to be fabricated in stainless steel and they were measuring carefully to get it right.

Shelly Vanderschaegen cleaning Plexiglas with Goof Off Michael McCraren was working again in the Pacific Peak on Saturday, February 21st.
