NEW
POLE BARN FOR RESTORATION
In
the Fall of 1999, Don had begun construction of a larger, heated pole barn where there
would be more elbow room for working on the Futurliner. He and his builder had neglected
to secure a building permit and when he finally applied, he found out that zoning limited
him to the number of "outbuildings" he could have. They had to tear down what
they had started and attach it to the existing building. |
In this picture we see the old new
pole barn being erected on about a 90 degree angle to the existing building that houses
the Futurliner. The new building was in violation of the zoning ordinance and had to come
down. |
Shown here are the construction
workers relocating the support timbers for the new pole barn. They would place new poles
in the ground and lift the entire roof off the pole barn, swing it around and place in on
the new poles. |
Here we see the existing building
being readied for attachment of the new pole barn. You can see a small portion of the
Futurliner in the work-bay. |
This machine was used to
"lift" the roof and relocate it in its new position. |
With the building relocated and
attached to the current Futurliner work-stall the builders work at blending the two roof
lines together. |
With the framework of the structure
nearly complete, the new building will be sided, roofed and otherwise enclosed. A cement
floor will be poured and then electricity, lighting, heating and other amenities added
before occupancy. |
