You going to model this on your new layout?I wonder how many cars this train yard could hold.
WILLIE will fill that wagon yard up - no problem
Then what will he do with all his OTHER cars?DAVID ... How is the foot/ankle doing today?
PATRICK... I have some Oak door jambs -- want me to make you one?
I spent some time yesterday cutting down legs on some "bar stools" for a friend.
I made a jig in order to make sure that they were all cut to the same length - plus the correct angle.
The Spousal Unit decided that I could make her another project! I should have waited until she left the house as she heard the saw running.

Great looking car Tom.Good morning from Autumn in So. Central WIsconsin. It’s a balmy 49f degrees and moving to a high of 54. We have a drizzle that has everything wet. While it won’t be helpful to grow anything except the grass and weeds we do need the rain. I would like to think I cut grass yesterday for the last time this season but looking at the next 10 forecast, we range from a low of 35 overnights to mid 50’s.
Grocery day yesterday as Terry and I did the big trip (apologies to WilliE). The 8 mile round trip had us stopping at the 4 stores we shop at but rarely on the same day. I sat in the car at our Pick & Save as we found out last week they have gone COMPLETELY to self check out. We said we would not go back after last week’s trip but they had the Tide brand and size bottle Terry uses for $3.99 each, max of 5 bottles with digital coupon. 35 minutes after leaving the car Terry returned. She said the digital coupons at self check out needed a code to be entered by the non-existent cashier. The helper was bouncing all over. Seems terribly non customer friendly to me.
Stick shifts! After I received my license on my 16th birthday, dad came home with a Opel Kadet. Drove over to the grade school parking lot and taught me how to use it. 4 on the floor! Had that car from Junior year in high school till Spring of my 4th year in college. Woke up one morning in my apartment about 6AM with Terry shaking me awake. She said something just happened in the parking lot. The garbage pick up truck had smashed into 3 cars, totaling 1 (mine) and heavily damaging a neighbor and Terry’s car. The driver had a heart attack and the truck still had the big plow attachment on it and basically hitting my car first pretty much sliced it in 2. Terry‘s car was a $100 car she purchased and they settled for $200. I got a new 1975 Malibu Classic out of deal. Of the $2800 price tag I remember paying $600 out of pocket, the insurances did the rest. New car as a graduating college student with no car payment was a great beginning. I thought it was a fair settlement! Terry‘s last few cars and my last VW Golf in 2012 have had those paddle shifters.
No trains yesterday until around 10PM when EBay let me know the Atlas Center Partition car sold

I printed the address label, inspected the car with pictures and taped the label to the box. A trip to the post office today is required. This evening we are going to see the musical Aladdin. We have decided that dinner is home this evening. It better be good as we are missing a Badger hockey game for this.
I have one car left on EBay, a Scaletrains Bulkhead flat car

Usually my ST bulkheads sell on the buy it now feature but this one hasn’t
enjoy the day
Looks good but where you have those 28" overhead cabinets above the dishwasher.....While Boris is having plumping problems, I woke up realizing I needed to add some blocking to the kitchen framing because the total length of the new cabinets 177" is an inch short of the last framing 2X4 and that's not good. I also need make sure the Durock to drywall transition happens before the 177" end of cabinet figure.

Thank youGreat looking car Tom.
James I'm not sure what you're talking about (Cabinets are done in 3 inch increments)? I have a golf friend who designed it all. He builds custom cabinets. I'm just doing the rough tough work. He did the kitchen for the CEO of Blackrock securities so I guess he knows what he's doing but if you want to explain it in more detail go head. I did 25 years of concrete work don't know much about installing cabinets.Looks good but where you have those 28" overhead cabinets above the dishwasher.....
you won't be able to get (3) 28 overhead cabinets. Cabinets are done in 3 inch increments. So you will need (2) 24s and (1) 30 for your total of 84 inches there,
Being custom cabinets they can be any size. James is correct for standard box cabinets. They come in sizes that are usually multiples of three though each maker may have certains sizes they skip (some may make a 27" and some may not as an example)James I'm not sure what you're talking about (Cabinets are done in 3 inch increments)?

I get it now Chad. My golf friend does custom work. He has a reputation for doing phenomenal cabinets for billionaires. I play golf with the guy. I just told him no junk nothing phenomenal.Being custom cabinets they can be any size. James is correct for standard box cabinets.
