    The Uxbridge Central Progress

    Dave, you are progressing nicely very with your layout, I would like to point out though that your 1x3 joists would have been much more effective if they were installed with 3/4" side to the foam, wood has alot more strength and resistance to weight in this configuration. It can be easily done...

    Am I off Base?

    John, I'm wondering if the timing was just bad, did he have a bunch of other people in the store that he would not want to do something like that in front of them thus giving them the impression it would be alright for this to happen for them as well. I own my own business and know well enough...

    Robin : the last farewell

    Jimmy , that is indeed a final moment for you and maybe a start to some closure for a friend I'm sure we will all miss. It has been a long time since you and I have spoken and I'm real sorry about that because our time on this Earth is all to short as this time has proven. Hope to talk to you...

    Mike, I would not wait for things to progress in a negative way, request a leave of absence and consult an atterney to see if you could medical compensation and have him stand by in case you get fired because of it. Pat

    new logger with guestions

    Cascade, you got some real good advice and I'm glad to see you are taking it, that being said make sure you leave the tracks and the space needed to fit your sawmill, as it is a big diorama all by itself, Pat.

    What I've learned from good ol' Robin.

    Kcs, I think it looks nice but your qaulity of your pics leaves something to be desired, I think maybe a tripod for a steadier base might serve you well. Hope to see some clearer pics, Pat.

    Want to see the Bowmanville show?

    Chris, thanks so much for sharing these wonderful shots. There are a lot of great ideas to be had in them. I was wondering do you know the gentleman that is building the viaducts? I would love to talk to him if you do. I would gladly give you my email to pass on to him. Thanks so much, Pat.

    Jac's Lines - 2005 Challenge

    Jack??, many old time firehouses had towers for drying the hose on the outside of the building, if you incorporate something like that it might break up the large blank wall. Love what you have done w. the pumpers they look super. Pat

    New structures for the AD&N

    Tad , thats what I assumed they were for but how does it work? Maybe if posted a close up of the turnout it would make better sense to me I like the idea of manual turnouts and would like to explore all options before making my final decision which way to go for myself. Thanks alot Pat
