WEATHER SEALS Jerry, Wes and Ed worked at making and installing the metal framework to accept the weather seals on the large upper and lower 16' doors. Then they started the installation of some of the weather seals on these doors as well as the lower cargo doors. In addition, they determined the type of weather seals that will be required on the piano hinge of the upper 16' door. One of our guests, Jim Chambers, volunteered to locate this weather seal as it has to be white so that it blends in with the roof. By the end of the day Jim had found a source for this white rubber.
