Howdy everyone!
I appreciate all the likes on my stuff!
Flo - I'll have a hot roast beef sandwich with home fries - put gravy all over it, a large cole slaw, coffee
and slice of raisin pie with whipped cream on top.
Mikey - I hope your house is still above water. Drains backing up, unwanted ponds and more rain on the way . . . WOW!
Do you have a boat? Good job on the dresser, but does the wife like it?
I despise stripping furniture, but really like staining and finishing - go figure
Johnny - thanks for the comments.
Chet - thanks for liking the market! It was fun to model an old, local market, but I think mine looks
better
nice F-photos!
Tom - WOW - six porches! Good for you! Gotta love it.
Willie - The elevator is looking good! I'm about 30% done with my grain & farm supply. I have all six bins built
and the vertical grain dryer is almost done, but it really doesn't look like a grain facility until the elevator is up
and the piping connected.

With me finishing the A/C unit on Hagerty's Market, I hit the wall with structure building. That makes four in
a row. I needed a change of pace, so I placed them close to where they will stay and sketched in the highway
that goes across the new table. State highway Rt. 8 travels north/south and is Main St. through town. There's
an intersection with another major highway, Rt. 422 that will have a traffic light.
I started on a grade crossing and there are five crossings on my layout, so I'm
relearning on this first
one and the other four should go smoothly without a hitch.
Standing back and taking in the big picture, it's looking like a real layout. I have two more major structures to
begin and build, the truck/rail coal transfer facility and a three store retail building. Thorn Creek and the
Farm Supply warehouse will be in the mix, as are two homes. Then the rest is all scenery and details.
That should keep me busy for the next 2 or 3 years
Have a good rest of the day.
