On the second day with my new building I began by properly finishing reinstalling 14 feet of fence. I swept the building and made careful measurements. I established the main board height at 30 inches. I finally get to use my laser level! I attached a full length 2x4 to 3 walls and a forth board four feet from the back wall. I found a piece of plywood just for a picture. I will clear my original 4x8 setup and cut it to 4x7' 3". I'm still looking at track plans as a starting point.
One thing is bothering me early on. I think I want to turn the building 90 degrees. This would fix a problem with water running off one building on to the porch the other. By time I gave out, I was working by the light of a kerosene lamp. I put an engine and caboose in the building to make it all official. Track soon.
