Hi Bob… Wow… That’s awesome… Now I’m in the grocery business even after moving into a Senior Retirement Center…

Super job…

I can still watch trains, do business and eat at the same time… (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Nicely done, Bob.

I didn’t realize Stan was born in 1892. Look good for your age, Stan!

Thanks, Lou… It’s all because I quit drinking coffee… (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif)

I like it! Too bad our local Lowes and Home Depot stopped carrying that stone veneer. I liked working with it,. I have about a sheet and a half left over from my Wall Station project; not enough to do much with.

Yeh, when I noticed the inventory fading, I Grabbed a box and a half
At our Lowe’s. Plan on building a bank with some this winter, then alittle stone front store…or maybe the store first! Glad I have a bunch. And I like Bob’s lighting method. Simple and easy to install.

… I think you could have let the roof hang out farther past the walls on the sides of the building, but that’s so niggling compared with the fine overall effect.

John,

Thanks for the compliments. I really thought long and hard about extending the roof further out over the side walls, but I was trying to stay as close as possible (within reason) to the look of the prototype. If I ever need to redo the roof due to the occasional hail storms we get around here, I may extend the next one out and have exposed rafter ends. Here’s what the prototype looks like today.

Now it makes sense. I think you made a good choice.
