Siding Complete - West Side835 viewsHere's another view from Bailey's run. Here you can see how the gable was framed out further from the truss so there is a slight overhang. The fascia boards are also installed, but the soffit boards are not.

840 Scraper819 viewsTim was quite enamored with this huge model 840 scraper, mainly because he played with a toy version of it as a kid. It was definitely fun to see the real thing, beautifully restored.

West Side794 viewsHere's a view of the side of the shed, from inside Bailey's run. Having the shed this close to the fence makes for some tricky work. We had hoped to side the wall before we set it up, but the way the walls are staggered didn't allow for this. At the time this picture was taken, we had one panel of siding to go on the front, and the partial panel left to go on the side you see here, as well as the gable ends, which also need to be framed out so there is a slight overhang.

The Kite Eating Tree790 viewsThe tree had already been repainted to remove the Charlie Brown imagery. Now the park is left with a really weird themed swing ride. No Peanuts gang allowed in this tree.

Garage Door787 viewsHere's some detail on the garage door. As noted above, it's made of coro cut to size, and "prerolled" so that it wants to roll up with the door tracks. The tracks were made out of 2x4 stock, making an L-shape using a half-lap joint, then freehand-routing a groove in them for the door to slide in. Four stabilizer bars of wood, bolted to the coro door, add lateral strength, similar to the struts on a real garage door. There's an extra 2x4 on top in this pic that shouldn't be there thanks to William!
