My wife wants new counter tops too. But you wouldn't have to stay out in the back 40 ;) We have a real bed with a new matress, heat/AC and satellite TV :D Ralph

Ralph your offer sounds a way better…proper bed, heat, Ac and Sat TV. Gotta beat a lean-to in the back 40. :wink: Sorry Shawn.

Got some more done today. All the walls for the 1st floor are up. Still need to clean up the glue joints and add trim boards at the exterior corners. Track side.

And Rear.

If the door/window openings seem a little large, it’s because I make the door/window unit complete with 6" trim boards and then they get put into the openings.

Nicely done Randy.

Randy, looking good… :slight_smile:

This station has a 6’ roof overhang all around, so today after work I started working on the brackets to support the overhang. They are not as fancy as the CPR ones, I wanted a more rustic appearance and besides much easier to fabricate. :wink:

Well, I had to Google it to find out what a lamb’s tongue is in relation to carpentry. Also discovered there’s a succulent by that name, and found many recipes for cooking a lamb’s tongue.
