Lou Hemphill Pavilion - Construction - Day Five - Install Trusses

Photos and commentary by Andy Steere.

This is day five of construction. It is October 20th, 2001. The concrete floor is poured, and looks GREAT! Today we are scheduled to install the truss system and prepare for the roof to be installed. A good turn-out of workers today. I was late, because I went down to Jefferson City to JCRC's Runway Dedication.

By the time I got there, about 2pm, the trusses were already up and they were working on the boards that tie the trusses together. This is a shot from the parking lot, looking toward the flight-line.

MOVIE CLIPS

(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided. The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This version will produce the best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require Apple Quicktime player or plugin, and the AVI files require Microsoft Windows Media Player or similar. The AVI files are converted using an Indeo video codec, if you have trouble viewing the video.)
