As you can see in the photo, it wasn’t a slight change or some wall painting, but this renovation took several years. In the meantime, Truman moved to a house across the street. This photo was taking during the construction work, in 1948. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.

| I have seen this photo many times but this is the first time I've noticed the second HD-5G. Way early for the HD-6G. |

No counterweights on machines , and also the early style loader with the square support between loader booms - Every one of the early loader frames I have seen are kind of a series of welding repairs and added iron . A few years back i posted the pictures from inside the white house but the one i posted this time is also the first I seen the 2nd loader being used . Without counterweights one has to be real careful as machine with loaded bucket likes to walk on front idler , especially when backing up . Then looking at the single axle trucks no big thing with a bucket that isn't heaped when loading . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light.

That was quite an undertaking, removing the interior of the building and putting in the steel supports at the same time to support it. I wonder how much of the steel is still in the building. Only been in the Eisenhower office building next to the White House. Would be cool to get a tour of the underside of the WH. |

Anyone notice the ghosts in the picture , walking down the bank by truck , setting on iron above truck . Evidently a real slow shutter on camera ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
