Section 7: Unit F/G Complete 6/10/05
Units F & G are being constructed in the shop as one unit, and they will be split in two, to be transported to the museum.

X11 Apprentices Chase Shelton and Josh Cantrell grinding the main deck on Unit G over head to smooth out some weld. The units are upside down to make it easier to install structure; the units are later flipped for erection.

X11 Apprentice Corey Beddingfield adds structure to Unit F/G to help in the installation of the lower flat.
