Nice Dave, hope you get back to it soon.
Chris
Got some time to get the perlins to hang the Taylor tin on, and the backing boards for the block work installed.
It’s starting to come around and look like something. Up next will be the Taylor stone.
Still overnighting at the ICU. Shanna was removed from the respirator and is improving, breathing on her own…
Good news on all fronts.
I hope Shanna continues to improve! We are cheering for her!
What kind of wood are you using? I like the grain!
I plan to be framing walls today. You are ahead of me!
Thats REAL D&RG Railroad wood.
It’s Douglas Fir, Cut from a 6" x 9" intermediate Sill beam from D&RGW Flat car 6214. We are rebuilding the flat and several of the beams needed to be replaced, and I salvaged several chunks. The last rebuild date on the car was 1923. It could be even older, we will never know.
I guess that that makes this a historic building, it has a history behind it.
So you will have a historic building too!
I recently realized I have more 30 year old redwood in a kindling pile I haven’t used! I will have some for the next “vintage” building. You’re is historic mine is only vintage!
Glad to hear Shanna is improving. The power building is coming along nicely.
Got a few minutes to start getting stoned.
I layed some Taylor Tin on the upper section to see how it will look. I’ll have to cut some custom Tin. Not sure how the roof will fit yet.
Back at the hospital, Shanna was transferred out of ICU to the renal care section. Daily improvement.
Looking good.
have a good night!
I like the tin siding
I recognize some of those materials! good stuff too!
Got some time to Finnish up the stone work.
Put in a special cut order into Taylor Tin’s production schedule. Factory working overtime.
At the Hospital tonight, improvements daily. 3-4 more days may wrap this up…
I recognize those Dave Taylor copyrighted specialty factory-made building materials. I’ve been following along and it’s good to hear that your friend may be getting out of the woods, because losing friends is miserable. I hope I never get sick, but if I do I want a friend like you around.
Got some time to cut and bend up some of that fabulous, Guaranteed Never To Rust, Taylor Tin.
Also got started on applying it to the building, Went fast, as it was custom cut to size.
One done, three more to go. Time to start worrying about the roof.
@ Hospital again, Minor setback, slow recovery.
What year do you model? What direction will this metal wall be facing? Until it rusts up it will blind pilots with its reflection is it faces any other direction than north. Looks good Dave. Looks like the guys at Taylor Tin, Stone, Doors, & Whatever Company have been busy.

Since it’s a flat top roof, wouldn’t the sun need to be on the ground to reflect upwards?
Dave nice use of familiar junk.

I was thinking about barn stormers and crop dusters flying in the winter at extreme northern latitudes where the sun comes at you from a very low angle.

Oh.
You seem unenthusiastic about that answer.
Found enough time to Finnish up the Tinning.
Front and Left side.
Right side and rear. Will need to put the corner pieces on, but done for the walls.
Time to worry about the roof, and the side service door.
@ hospital for the night.
