I ran most of your ideas by the wife last night. As I was sharing them throughout the day with her she was telling friends and family. When I got home we discussed some of the better ideas at length. She is as excited as I am if not more so. She loves over the top Christmas decorating and the idea of an interactive Christmas themed layout (that is edible) has her excited. So much so that she said I HAVE to have it DONE by next year (we have been married 30 years next year you would think she would know better that DONE is not a word I am very familiar with). She even said she will “help” that way it gets done. She did go on to clarify what “help” means and I am pretty sure my dad uses a synonym to describe when my mom “helps” . . .he calls it nagging. She started to grab the car key, I am not sure but I think she was heading to Home Depot before she turned and cooked dinner.

It’s just such a shame that you can’t take a shower until after it comes down.

lol thank God we have two, lol. This is a spare bathroom or guest bathroom. It doesn’t have a shower in it anyway. It has a nice jetted tub though and I really miss it. I spend some time in there when I hate my head.
Sorry I over looked the obvious but thought your wife might help out with the doable hot chocolate all night diner:

And so as not to forget any imbibers don’t forget the Eggnog bean field:

Is that a jacuzzi tub the layout’s going over? If it is, that brings a whole new dimension to the design. Like, where’s the drink cooler? (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
The hot cocoa on a stick I am making.

Why yes, yes it is a jetted tub. And sadly I miss it. That got put in at the wife’s request when we did the addition. I figured I’d never use it. I am not a bath taker. But since my head went south I have found real relaxation in that tub with some sissy smelling bath salts. lol I have no shame. I have been known to even light a candle and listen to Enya while laying in it. Some times the head wins and I just have to give up and give in. The manly man in me runs out.
Enya, candle, jacuzzi, and trains running around, I’m diggin it.
Well getting closer to construction. The grubbing is just about done. I worked way too hard this weekend trying to get the room cleaned. All my normal modeling stuff and trains got dumped in the room along with other stuff. We are playing a game of ring around the rooms as we do the shuffle. Stuff keeps getting moved from one room to another in an effort to get it out of the way. We are actually shuffling three different rooms. Who knew emptying the nest would be so hard. I won’t bore you with all the details but on top of my stuff I had all of Steve’s stuff piled in this room. I got Steve’s stuff all inventoried and boxed better and it is in the garage awaiting sales. I sorted (that means threw a bunch of stuff away) my stuff a little. I have a little more grubbing to do then I should be able to start staking and grading.
I guess I should mention here that three rooms are simultaneously getting remodeled or at least rearranged at one time. So this has been a somewhat monumental task.
Impressive undertaking Devon! Do the three rooms include the trailer? Or is that a 4th room?
I love your new logo, haha! The good ol’ PD&UP RW, I’ve travelled that route many times!!
Needs some Ken with Barbie dolls

The trailer is the 4th room. May become my room if I keep buying trains. We will be jumping back on that right after the shuffle.
Well getting a start on the bench work.
Devon, don’t you need to frame the door first?
