LAST WEEKENDS SHOP ACTIVITY
Monday and Tuesday were spent collecting tools and materials for the west end roof walk and painting the boards. A bit of time was spent painting the last of the windows to the appropriate color and the one frame which has been installed. Thursday, I finished up painting the roof boards and began installing the walkway. Roof walk construction continued Friday and Saturday. With the assistance of Joe Knapke, the west end roof walk was completed and painted. Rich Wolfgang installed windows with the cupola windows the next project.
Sunday was spent with Grant and me doing more painting on the Wabash caboose.
UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
Next week I intend to do some testing of the stoker liner and see if there is enough material to consider patching the hole or whether we need to remove the liner and replace it.

Further we are constantly monitoring the CDC and the State of Indiana for updates regarding preventative measures to communicate to our volunteers.
We continue to ask everyone to do their part. The best line of defense for protecting your health, and the health of those around you, is to practice good personal hygiene.
