	This is the story, with pictures, of the upgrading of the Briefing Hut with a new roof and the addition of a permanent roof on the Engine Test Stand Port, et al, as recorded in the following album.

The new roof finally arrived (about 3 hrs. after promised) via a delivery pickup and was laid out in the parking lot. (10/20/05)

The roof and crew preparing to attach the clamps and blocks to the edge and the pull ropes to the clamps. The five pull ropes can be seen in place over the existing roof.

Crew members included (l-r) Vern Skovgaard, Marv Hollander, Bob Foster, Dan Cook, George Frazier. Not shown, Olaf Gniechwitz, Joe Cook

The new roof has been pulled from west to east over the top of the existing roof and tie down anchor rods and boards installed along the bottom. The door is yet to be cut out. (10/21/05)

View of new roof from the south end. Note the degree of overlap with the old roof. We expect it to gradually stretch and shift to match.

View of the new roof from the north. We set up this end so it just matched the level of overlap of the old roof.

Another re-roof project. The fabric covered Engine Test Stand Port is being re-roofed with a permanent corrugated fiberglass material. This is a trial fit of a panel to see how it will sit with the envisioned attach blocks. (10/20/05)
