Lets get covered!

A great day at the Rocks By Rail Museum where I came away with a sense of achievement. The achievement was working with the rest of the volunteers in almost getting the new roof fitted on the plant shed. About three quarters of it is now in place and it should only need a few more hours work to finish it and get covered! 

With a group of us working together it was a case of bringing in a roofing sheet, raising it in place on the elevating platform and then fastening it to the steel roof framework. Sounds easy but a great deal of hard work and I am shattered this evening!

This is where we started this morning with half of one side already done.

By mid day we had one side finished. That elevating platform made life a lot easier!

By the end of the day we were just over halfway up on the other side.

Looking good from a distance and hopefully it will be finished in the next few days!

As I had to get some things from the Restoration Shed I took a few minutes to admire John's numbering on the newly bodied three plank wagon. It does finish it off very nicely. Not sure what his reaction will be when this ultra clean wagon goes into service and gets dirty and scratched! Maybe it should go in the plant shed getting covered by the new roof?
