Passenger Car Department

Here is another update on the Mt Harvard restoration. Events are happening so fast that I can't always blog about them in a timely manner. A five member team volunteering on the last three Saturdays gets the job done quite fast. Here are two new developments. First pictures are of the lounge area. Sandi cleaned then sanded the seat frames of the small buffet. She then applied two coats of stain followed by three coats of Spar gloss polyurethane. While she was working on that I focused my efforts on a couple of areas including replacing the two large windows that were once Lexan plastic with 3/16 plate Glasson either side of the entrance door. Next, I then began reproducing and installing missing Mahogany window sills on either side of the lounge. While I was working on the sills she begin sanding and staining the large desk window sills located on either side of the lounge entrance door.

The buffet end seats now stained and freshly covered with polyurethane.

Mahogany windows sills installed.

Small arm tables receiving sanding, stain and clear polyurethane.

Our five person Saturday crew has divided their attention into the men and women bathrooms.

We are just beginning to strip old paint off the ceiling and wall.

This is Bill Sr. working in late February.

Bill Sr. again but this time in early March. His son is also in the picture. That is his  back in the blue sweatshirt.

Please consider donating to this project. Replacing the old rusted steel will be expensive. More on the exterior later.     Thanks   Roger
