A view of Station 4 from the inside looking out and a view from the outside looking in.

Notice the "oops" poles on each side of each bay door.  It is probably obvious that the poles are there to keep someone from driving one of the large trucks into the side of the building.

STATION 7

   

The doors have been installed at Station 7.  Notice the "oops" poles on either side of these doors as well.  There is also a view of the storeroom that is behind the bays.

CEILING INSULATION AND GARAGE DOORS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO STATION 4

CEILING INSULATION HAS BEEN ADDED TO STATION 7

The addition of ceiling insulation does not change the outward appearance of Station 7, so photos were not taken.


ANNOUNCEMENT: MARCH 6, 2005

Construction on Station 7 progresses during the week with the completion of the shell of the building.
