You missed a zero..... That's 80,000 lbs for a loaded tractor trailer.. 40 tons RVs don't stand a chance.

Sorry Bill, probably late but I havn't been paying any attention to forums lately. You could call Bachmann and enquire about the wire. They used to be pretty good with parts and service, but it's been years since I've dealt with them. That section of track is only $6.50 MSRP if you have to buy...

Yea, we're doing OK. I'm a currency trader and have been trading for over 6 years. I'm trading full time now. Been very busy and away from all the forums for a while. I'm completely out of trucking and the RV industry now. I finished the electrical and had the final inspection in August but...

Thank you. The radiant barrier is done, the sheetmetal on the roof is done, the trim is done... Hmmmm building is done and ready for the inspector and then on to electric. Hired the roof out as Mama wasn't giving up that fight. She didn't want me on the roof at all. Took them about 9-10 hrs...

Cool Bill. $10 is cheap entertainment and a huge return on investment if you have kids around. Looks like you have 2 of the Bachmann starter sets or a big portion of both sets, these sets retail over $100 each these days. Nice score for $10, you'll spend more than that on a sheet of foam at...

Jim, Moose thank you. Yea Moose, this is where I wish I'd ordered a 1/2-12 pitch instead of a 3-12 pitch. Finished the corner and eave trim on the front of the building before it got dark out and a thunderstorm ran me off. I wasn't paying attention to the weather and it snuck up on me when I...

All of the siding is finished. Time to install the corner and eave trim so I can start on the roof.

If taking my kids and grandbaby to the water park on vacation is a job, I'll work it 24/7/365.:D Moose, ya need to build you one. This color sure does show my dusty foot prints from pre drilling the holes. It would be great on a classic gambrel roof barn, Rustic red siding, polar white trim...

Got 4 more pieces of siding up. This heat and humidity is killing me as I have to wear long sleeves and a hat in the sun now because of the Methotrexate I take. Learned that the hard way with a touch of sun poisoning on my arms yesterday. Wasn't a problem before but now that my dose was...

Started on an end wall today. Sorted out the 5 different lengths of siding into separate stacks for pre drilling the holes and got 3 pieces of siding up. Should be able to finish this end up tomorrow.

:mad: If this thing gets reverse built, it'll be because of a direct hit from a catagory 4 or 5 hurricane or a tornado and I ain't sticking around for pics for anybody.:eek:

Alright, vacations over. Time to stop goofing off and get something done. The siding on the front and back walls is complete and with any luck, I might be able to finish the siding on the end walls, corner trim and the eave trim this week.

I can't, I'm retired. If I go too fast it'll be too much like a no paying job and I might actually get something done.:p Mama and I are fine. Just some follow ups on old stuff and Mamas getting her gall bladder checked out too. Just a bunch of visits and vacation that all happened about the...

Thanks Irvin. Been a little busy with doctors appointments for both mama and myself, just some follow ups and adjusting meds, and a short vacation with the camper for our grand daughters birthday and away from the forums and build. Got the siding done on the front and half the back now will...

I havn't forgotten about this. Getting the itch to get back on it very soon. I did manage to bust open the wallet and pick up some more rolling stock. I used to always buy way more locomotives than I had rolling stock but I'm trying to change that. Do't know if I'll be able to contain myself. A...
