Rob,
The 20 is not getting too much progress right now, though she is still regularly lubricated and moved to keep parts from siezing up. We're hoping that work will be able to start in earnest within the next year or so, with the vast majority of the restoration being done in house. I would say conservatively we're looking at six or seven years unless we can get a major grant for the repairs.
Thanks, Taylor
