Barn Raising (slightly boaty)

[Lakesailor]

Did you see the film "Witness" in which the Amish put up a barn by making the frames on the ground and pulling them upright?

9.30am temporary building at Steamboat Museum laying on ground

9.53am

Half of it up.
It would have been up yesterday (they started on Monday) but even a French company employing Swiss and Swedish builders couldn't miss the opportunity for an "MFI Moment"
Some brackets for the apex were missing and a wagon drove through the night from France to drop them off at 8.00am this morning.

The whole building will be finished by Saturday.

Dunno about Witness but there is something similar in Weird Al's Amish Paradise if that helps

By 11am

Nah, I remember it from 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'. They managed to build and destroy a barn in the course of one number. Most impressive.

Well, what can you expect if you build a barn with American screwdrivers!?

Have you got an interesting sequence of paint drying? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Lakesailor]

Now you come to mention it I do have some pictures of varnish drying.

That's better. Always pleased to see boat applied varnish drying.

Clearly the Varnish pictures are photoshoped. If you look closley the Tacky picture in fact is completley dry.

 

[Lakesailor]

Bear in mind that the area you are looking at may have dried prematurely.

Wasn't it "Seven Rides for Seven Brothers"? Or is that a different film?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Was that about motorcycling?

[/ QUOTE ] That's funny. The stuck-on insect count hasn't changed at all between the wet and the dry. Wish I could afford a climate controlled tent.
