This inventory was completed on August 14, 2001, as part of Evan Fitzpatrick's Eagle Scout project.

In the tin shed, because of the limited availability of room and because of the weight of some of the items, it was impossible to move everything out to see what was all the way in the back, Those doing the inventory moved as much as they could, but it is possible there are more items stored behind everything else.
