Great work, Bruce! Is that spray rubber on the roof top?
-Brian
Thanks guys. It was hard getting the right pictures; I wish I had more of all the folks I’ve met over the years. I especially wanted the indoor shots, but they’re even rarer.
Brian, that’s Rustoleum textured paint.
If you ever want to do this again I’d be happy to send you a CD of pictures from Canada and York. You’ll have to wade through them but you’ll probably find one or two you can use.
Bruce ,
Great idea for honoring your friends. Hope you don’t mind if I copy it.
Nice looking addition.
Dave
I thought Bruce said he found those photos IN the post office, but I may have mis-heard. :lol:
David, copy and improve! It’s great to inspire.
Bruce,
That is a great idea with the photos and your TOC figure is spectacular! I’ve got a hunch a lot of people will be “borrowing” your idea. Perfect for the storefront flats I need to build. Hmmm!
I did notice though that a trespasser seems to have slipped through and is standing behind one of the windows. That’s the same ol’ wino that keeps pestering us here on the POC. Just give him a bottle of cheap Muscatel in a brown paper bag and he’ll go away.
Very cool 
I put the final signs on the windows of Goodson Hardware; I used my Brother P-Touch printer to print white on clear and just stuck them to the windows.

It fits right in place between the gas station and the bank. The previous buildings were moved to the other side of the street. I do need to clean up the layout a bit, but I think I’ll wait for nicer weather.

Very nice, Bruce. How do you do your sidewalks? Those look pretty neat
Thanks. My first sidewalks were made from Quikrete® Vinyl Cement, but that’s a lot of hassle; though it does make for a nice heavy base. The gas station and the previous buildings had that, and you can just barely see them in the picture above (the fire hydrant on the left). I need to clean them and seal them; they attract mold.
Now I’ve started using 3/8" foamed PVC that I got from Tap Plastics. I REALLY like working with it. I scribe the sidewalk and curb joints, then round the edge just a bit. I paint it with some gray exterior latex I have, then when that dries I put the India Ink/alcohol mix on it. Finally, some weathering powders are applied. This is all followed by a coat of clear Krylon.
