2017 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

Here is a series of pictures of the process.

Door was heavy so we welded a ring at the top and used the tractor bucket to move it around and to hold it up while we installed the pins.

A few days a go while welding the frame into the can I kept hearing pings and boings created by the heat......well the hinges no longer lined up perfectly so a few mils had to be shaved off the hinges.

It eventually fitted in nicely. It was first primed then painted with the funny paint mix I have. The lock system is a 1 inch square tubing sliding within a 1 1/4 steel tube....well lubricated and drilled for a padlock.

The ugly "profilactic" is a section of inner tube to reduce water infiltrating the lock.

Strong as a bank vault.

Ever wonder how little side to side clearance there is when the truck in in the can...... about a hands width.

Still have to install foam rubber seals to make it water tight.

Cheers
