Some progress...

In recent weeks a certified welder spent a couple of days continuing to weld in the patches on the roof sheet and side firebox sheet. There is still much more boiler work to be accomplished before we can think about rolling in the tubes, but this puts us that much closer. Thanks to Bob Sims for the photos! - JCA
