Yes I understand what you mean! Sometimes there is a blessing having to wait until next payday to continue.
Making great progress. I'm so happy for you!
Mike this has been an inspiring thread to follow. We old guys just have to take it one day at a time and be thankful for yesterday's progress. You should get a great deal of satisfaction on what you've accomplished so far. Looking forward to your continues progress.
Great progress!

That looks great Mike. Good to get the water off the lumber so it doesn't start warping.
Keep up the good work.
Quick question....what the heck was causing all the shadows through the trees? You must have some giant flood lights

It's the Mike G progress meter!
Big Mike G,
Looks great, I am watching with great interest. Mike go slow buddy and do NOT GET HURT. Us old GI's have a tendency to do more at one time than our old bodies can actually handle. The mind still thinks we can do more than our bodies really can.
Be safe buddy I am watching the progress. Some young help would be nice.

I want to thank you all for the nice comments! You are all wonderful men and I try to keep up with what you are all doing as well! It's a good thing is Sunday- DAY OF REST cause I sure can use it! Maybe watch some NASCAR or alittle golf! Thanks again everyone!
P.S. Bob (RSJB18), I know you probably haven't seen it in a while, but no flood lights! Its called the SUN!!!!
some NASCAR, trains, and maybe a beer or two....

Looking great my friend ! Keep up the great job, but be careful too. I love the updates..
Looking good Mike! Thanks for sharing the updates ! It will all come together - slow and steady does it . . .
Hi everyone, just a little update. I got the roof 90% done and the gutters up, the other end wall framed in, and passed framing inspection from the county. So all I have left to do is finish the roof, that I didn't get done cause I ran short on 3 tab. Then get it sided with T-111, but that is going to be slow at $45 per sheet. But I am getting there!
And of course Tank the inspector!

Hi everyone, I know you probably seen it on another thread! But here is my little update on the train room. I was able this weekend to get both ends of my train room sided ! For me that's a big plus! Now I have to wait for another payday and finish the siding! To me its all good! The little triangles have been filled in also!
