I've painted all the walls except teh front wall, and have installed the windows and glass in one wall. Here it is sitting in place, and a couple other pics showing the next wall and a small problem I'm having getting the two wall sections alighned. Not a big deal, nead some trimming, it was hard to get accurate measurements as I cannot physcially get my head where it needs to be to see! I took the last pic here primarily to see what was happening. It seems my concrete sill ( not sure what the proper term for this is) is too ling and prevented the long wall from going back that last .020, and when I forced it it broke the glue joint on the sill. A little trimming should resolve the problem. But I've had it today!
1st pic, long wall sitting in place
2nd pic, from down by the ash pit. note the big window over the double track passing beneath the bldg. That will be the Presidents meeting room. I'm thinking of having a permanent platform, my vocabulary is failing me, you know the platforms window washers use on tall bldgs, that move up and down. Jeez. But I'm seeing blackened walls from exhaust, but a very clean window, maybe washed daily. I also want the roof removable so I can place my camera there and set views down the tracks.
Here's an ugly picture! You can see the concrete sill is too long, the wall with the door can't go back far enough because of it, and when I pulled it (from the other side, this pic was taken from the opposite peninsula, several feet away, can't reach from there) it broke the glue joint on the sill. The sill hides the joint between the upper and lower wall sections.
