Wall Framing

The wall framing is one area where original pieces are more available. Some pieces need to be repaired, some are ready to be reinstalled. The basic wall frame is mainly made up of 2X4 lumber(1 5/8" X 3 1/2".) It is nailed to either the posts or the floor. Some pieces that are too far gone to be reused in their original place may be trimmed to make missing pieces. New pieces are made of lumber planed to size by museum members.

The two original B-end door posts are being test fitted.
