front wall is 11’ x 16’ and the rear wall is 8’6” x 16’ to the cor-
ner posts and studs. 1” x 6” x 16’ boards were attached spaced
2” apart to the front and rear walls. The end walls are 8’ wide

attached leaving 2” spaces between them. A Grandt Line 5131

ing doors, which should have been on the roof, were made
from scribed siding, as were the feed doors. The entire struc-
ture was washed with PollyScale boxcar red. A roof of 1/32”
