Lots of activity on all fronts today - and a few welcome rain showers to reduce the heat!
Hard work continues on the Car Shelter. The angle bracing between posts and roof trusses have all been installed; today, they began attaching purlins to roof trusses. There was no activity on the frameless tank car restoration.

Ted & linda, Thanks from me also. I want to pile on and say how nice it is to see right away what has been done. Looks hot in Chama! PS, like shots with workers in them as It adds perspective to them I think.
