Good morning guys,
-24 on the way in this morning, now up to -10. I think our last day of very cold weather, then we are going to moderate more around 30. We have had a long cold spell here, at least a month, I think.
Greg - I got a hamburger combo at Hardees for 5.69, included tax. There was a large burger, fries, and a medium Coke. I couldn't believe it when she computed my price, I must have gotten some kind of discount. That was 2 weeks ago.
Steve - the small chest of drawers looks very useful for a neat freak like me
Willie - the grain elevator looks great, don't remember seeing it before
I found an old memory stick, has lots of photos from my 2016 layout. Fun to look at, much of what is on it has been liquidated. We moved no less than 6 times since then, before settling into our new house last spring.
I found this project, the water tank looks good I always feel the details are lost when it gets on the layout:
using the plans as a template is brilliant (above)
Took a lot of steps to get to here. The nylon string holding the slats together probably one of the hardest parts (above)
I used paper towels rather than the sandpaper they included for the tarpaper (below)
I always keep a bunch of the spray painted tarpaper on hand
glueing the spout on was not easy. I used JB weld to reinforce it as the glue would not hold (above)
done!
More later, Dave LASM

. She only went into 1 store in each outlet. I even participated in decision making (supporting her decisions). I told her to get whatever she wanted because I spend way too much money on train stuff. She was happy and thanked me afterwards.
