Needed a better picture for the first pic, the next one maybe not the best intro :-)

I have been extremely distracted of late. I got an unwelcome cancer diagnosis, so that took priority. Surgery was done on May 23’rd and again on August 2’nd. The second one was done to make sure they got it all. Looks like this

I go back for a final follow up next Thursday but the pathology came back all clear!

Now, back to Coach 56. This is its current status.

All the major brace elements are fitted and in place. Next up the 2x4 wall joists need to be made. They are built in pairs and form the columns between the windows. You can see them in the above photo but on either side of the big opening.

The guys started milling the beams that are at window sill level and also at the top of the window wall. These beams form a goodly portion of the horizontal side wall structure.

That’s it for now. I’m limited to lifting no more than ten pounds for the time being so I stop into the shop for Tuesday’s Beer O’Clock and check in with the guys and answer any questions. Needless to say I’m going bat shit, oh well. Later.
