Jos, Sharpen that pencil.
Morning folks. I worked late last night getting a draft of my track plan done. The coffee sure smells good in here.
IF you want to check it out it is in the "Calling out Jos post." I'm really not as happy with it as I like. The lift-out is critical for making it work and it blocks me from running back and forth to staging in the other room.
No one said it would be easy.
Do you think the builders would notice?? I could cover the hole with carpet and a table like on Prison Break.

Good evening all you good folks out there in Model Railroad land!
I have been preparing my State Sales Tax form for my business and doing the pre paperwork for income taxes today (that involves putting everything into piles and then entering all the data from each pile into a speadsheet to give me totals to tell Uncle Sam). Doesn't that just sound like a lot of fun? Finally went outside this afternoon and ran the snowblower for a while and did a little shopping to get rid of the boredom.
This evening I took the pile of "other" receipts that I had and separated out the ones that were for model railroading in some manner. Good thing I was sitting down at the computer. I spent $6273.69 as close as I can determine. And that is only for the stuff I kept receipts for. Luckily about $4000 of that was for the room that I expanded the layout into so I guess it isn't too bad and hey, it's only money. Right?

Mornin' Bill!
Hi Guys! Ken, that is great news and it looks like a good investment. I see they don't put basements under them things down there...???
It is pleasant 13°F here in the Finger Lakes this morning. May get up to 21°F later today. Certainly a bit nicer than on the top of Mount Washington where it is 37°F below 0 with 100 mile per hour winds and a wind chill of -100°F. There is a video on Weather.com of them turning boiling water into snow... http://www.weather.com/multimedia/v...41&collection=videocoll26&from=wxcenter_video

Thanks guys we reckon it's for us. A little bit of country with the shops 1.5kms away.
Jos not quite that quick should be ready end of May.
Thanks KenL, Josh.
Ray Canterbury is built on old river beds mostly so not much below ground except the purest water in the world!!
Steve Thats basically it just a traditional roof line tho.
it finished to the painted, carpet lockup stage, grassed outside. We do curtains and I'll do appliances to make it cheaper
Exciting huh!!

Ken,
Looks like you should start digging that basement. Too bad they poured cement on top of it. It's going to make it a wee bit tougher.

Evening gang,
That "winter storm" threat that led several Maryland counties to close their school systems today, turned out to be mostly talk and very little action. OK by me though...
NZKen - that's a fine-looking house indeed!
Buffalo Paul - Wer'e not quite that cold down here. BTW what type/model of Athearn loco you assembling?
Chip - check my comments in your "Calling Jos" thread...
