The framework for the Tod Engine's new enginehouse is complete, and tomorrow 
we will start putting the sheeting on.

Unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy enough sheeting to get the 
entire building enclosed, but I do have enough material for the roof and at 
least one of the sides.  We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel 
right now to find enough cash to finish the building.  I'll be at Coolspring 
on Thursday selling copies of the Tod Engine book, so please pick up a copy 
of the book there or order it direct if you won't be in attendance.

Contributions to the building project are sorely needed right now.  We have 
absolutely zero overhead, all money that comes in goes directly to buying 
materials and supplies or for equipment rental.  The engine is one of the 
largest stationary steam engines in the United States, and certainly the 
largest one that has been moved and reassembled in recent years.

There is an easy way to make a contribution online by going to this page:
https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/MakeDonation.aspx?ORGID2=311728637 
Or you can send a check to the address on that page.  Either way we need 
your support, and soon!
