.
first time i had this billboard on a layout, was about 24 years ago.
for the following i “blame”" Jon and Devon and my daughter.
Jon, who in a few weeks converts a shabby hut into a perfect hobby-shed.
Devon for our conversation about “squarefeetwise” cleaning/shuffling junk around our hobby-rooms.
my daughter for, when she presented me my first grandson, saying “innocently”: “Pa, you know, that you need a functioning railroad, when he turns four?”
well, these made me think about the billboard.
it’s decades ago, that somebody shot at me, it’s half a century ago, that i lived in a house with lead waterpipes… where does the lead in my bottom come from?
only logical explanation would be the internet.
sitting on the Statler and Waldorf balcony - doing nothing.
ok, short story even shorter: i gave myself a rule: every time i’ll open a new pack of cigarettes, i work/clean/do whatever to my hobby room for ten minutes.
the interchange with Devon, about cleaned “square feet” was seven days ago.
now - about 33 pack of cigarettes later - i present this:
where this was:
.
is now this:
.
recycled structure, new bolts and boards (about $90.-)
15 (fifteen !) squarefeet cleaned out, 75 squarefeet storageroom gained.
there we see, what pure terror can achieve.
a deadline of a mere four years for a big layout, that is safe for and against children is not very long.
