The roof framing, T&G & fascia looks to be done. Thanks to Tom and volunteers it came out awesome.
Who has a good sprayer, sanders and plenty of tarps we need to seal the ceilings. There are some areas of the big beams that have black smears that need to be sanded prior to sealing.

Seabass,
Rob has my airless sprayer. It works well but I'd appreciate it, if you take care of it after use. I think I have the preservative in the box for storage after cleaning. It works best with the siphon immersed in a 2-5 gallon bucket of paint. It is not a good tool for detail but covers large areas quickly.
Whoever uses it, wear the proper filter mask, long sleeves and goggles. You probably have coveralls, anyway. I heard a good painter's tip is to apply Vaseline to any exposed skin, particularly, the face.

Cover the railing where it's not covered, and the statue, please !

Yeah, Glenn, about the glider sculpture... I was thinking it would look good in color,say, fluorescent green, black and blue, no?

I've never posted a photo on this forum yet, not knowing exactly how, but with Chippy's prompting here's a try at it. Here's Tom at the scene of the crime.

Back to the topic of roof sealing - Richard Shaw is making preparations to clean and seal all the beams and roof underside. Thanks Richard!

And while we wait for the roofing material to arrive, there is lots of other work to be done: Both the A and B storage boxes are showing lots of rust and need to be painted. George Boswell is checking into getting some rubberized sealer for the top of the B box and we already have rustolium primer and home good oil base grey paint. Watch for a work party call this coming weeked.
