Progress
October 2004 Part 2

Greg continues to work a couple of weeks in October before the snow starts to fly and temperatures dip. The evening of Oct. 27th Greg heads back to the shop at 8:30 p.m. to get more welding in while it's 58 degrees. He welds from the inside, cleans the welds with special air powered wire brushes. He hopes to weld on the outside before November.
