The planking process is long but each day the work progesses well and Harold is pleased with the pace now. There has been a lot of good luck with the steam jenny and steam box and a lot of really capable hands helping out. Today, Harold will get two more planks on before calling it a day. Overall, the snowstorms have abated at least for a few days and with temperatures in the 30s it makes it a lot less hard going. Thanks to Dan Tobyne for his latest, great photographs.

How do you keep water in the steam jenny ?
ReplyDeleteI would think a water line would freeze.

Bill,
ReplyDeleteWe fill the Jenny once a day from the garden hose which we keep in the celler. I feed it through a small hole and then pull the hose back in to keep it from freezing! It is about a 70 gallon tank given to us by our friend Erik Borden - HAB
