Quonset huts: When I first arrived in Korea I was in a tent. Not bad. Then they moved us into new Quonset huts...an upgrade. But, while they were completely assembled they had neglected to tar the seams and at the first rain we got soaked. They gave us little cans of tar, we build a fire to heat the stuff, and sealed the seams. Worked.
We had a little tin oil burning stove for the winter, and it was fed by a 50 gal oil drum outside the hut and a rubber feed hose to the stove. When the weather got really cold the oil in the rubber tube froze and the stove was useless. Oh well...they didn't want us to get too soft.
Boy! That's LOTS more than you wanted to know about quonset huts or anything else. (I was waiting for the ice cubes to be ready and didn't have anything else to do)
Well there is the right way and there is the military way.The quonset hut I have has never leaked a drop all because of the way the tin is installed.... with an overlap the same you would do with any shingle or any metal roof.
Yeah, "indigenous personell" put our together I think.
And they might have known exactly what they were doing!
Well, they weren't gonna leave it ignorant GI's.
