Wall Construction, From the Back (HWW, HFF)

02 Apr 2025 9 11 35
Our 2006 wall construction project, from a different view this time. You can see how they have completed some of the wall, and are now filling in behind it with sand. (The PiP shows the front view.) The ever-present wheelbarrow can be seen. The other very important tool is the cooler in the foreground. When the Tongans work on a wall, they prefer to live on the property while the project continues. They asked if they could put the cooler in our garage, a first step towards their moving into the garage. We had to say no, so the cooler is sitting outside with the rest of the tools. You can see a neighbor's fence in the upper left. Image processed with GIMP.

Work Table in Roundhouse (HTT)

We could view the work areas in the roundhouse at Steamtown, Scranton, Pennsylvania, but mostly from above on a catwalk. Below, there were areas of active restoration for historic locomotives and rolling stock. This work table stuck out, since it was crowded with tools, especially BIG ones for working on these large locomotives. Image processed with GIMP.
