Sneak Peek

Rust never sleeps…

I settled on a finish for the fascia on the layout. Rusty.

Its finished and turned out pretty good. If you want to see more you will have to come to the Doubleheaders Layout Tour tomorrow.  When I get a chance I will post some shots of the process used to create this effect.

Old and Tired

Stack of old tires jammed into the back of a truck. This was two years ago, so they are probably condoms or something by now.

I hope they remove the steel belts first.

One Year Ago

well, one year and two weeks…

Geez, its hard to believe but its been a year since construction was started on The Building. I dug up this video shot last year of the excavator knocking down a big willow tree. It made very short work breaking apart the tree, but could not get the stump out at the same time. A day later he simple hooked onto the stump and yanked it out with no effort at all.

Where this tree once stood we now have a driveway.

A gallery of photos documenting the whole building process can be found here….
