John Deere Collectors Center1044 viewsAfter a stop by the John Deere Store where we picked up a few collectables, our next stop was the John Deere Collectors Center. This building is set up to look like a 1950's John Deere dealership. Inside were many unique restored tractors and implements.

Garage Door1040 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!

Siding Complete - West Side1028 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.
