Ed DeVries arrived with his high lift truck. Ed, Howard, Don F. and others quickly attached chains and then using the high lift truck removed the left upper door. Ed then loaded the door onto his equipment trailer and took it to Sparta Sheet metal. Sparta Sheet metal are the builders of the two new upper doors. 

Both doors are not at Sparta Sheet metal for fabrication. The old doors had far too much sag in them when opened and, after a number of bracing attempts, the problem could not be corrected. It was decided that they should be remade and be in good working order for years to come.

The door is loaded on a truck for transportation to Sparta Sheet for fabrication.

The front and rear bulk heads will be covered plywood and then covered with material. Ron, Art and Jerry started cutting the plywood in preparation of its mounting.

The floors on the lower inside doors continued to be covered with wood flooring by Jerry, Art and Ed.

Plywood is measured, cut to fit and tacked down.
