Monday, March 25. 2013Ely Obs Ceiling Work Progress
Buzz Morrisette has made great progress in the Nevada Northern 10 ceiling project. On Saturday, March 23, 2013, he found a low spot in the ceiling which required work. Jon Habegger took a break from his work in the second art display car to take a couple of pictures of Buzz's progress.
Later on Shelly Vanderschaegen came through and dusted down the walls to remove debris accumulated during the ceiling repair work. After lunch, two hours were required to replace the tarp on the Silver Pony. Elsewhere, Mike Baksic and Ray Mormann took a water tank pipe out of the roof of Jack Biesterfeld's Boston and Maine project car, #1094 wooden cafe-coach. The rest of the wood and trash was removed from the second art display car, and last Friday Ray worked on the TV display area in the second art display car.
