Garage/track ceiling work

Post by gordon »

Yesterday the garage/FRC track ceiling got a much-needed refurbishment. Of course, we had to figure out how to do this with the track in the way. O'Brie came up with the brilliant idea of using his company's small truck to rest the track on and move it into the driveway so that the necessary scaffolding could be put in place to carry out the ceiling work.

Here's the truck with track on the tray. We had a fan running and blowing cool air under the plastic cover the whole time to keep things cool so the track wouldn't warp under the hot sun:

The next plan is to cover the bottom of the track table completely and paint it all white, however that will have to wait for the completion of our power-improvement plan of soldering and wiring the second half of the track.
