Thank goodness we got through that without having to buy a new lineset. It's still closer to the furnace vent than I would like but everything works and that's what is important.
I like the way the bridge in the first setup actually bridges between the two tables. Nice touch!
A lot of my day is spent watching MotorTrend TV and youtube. If you don't want to be tempted, stay away from those

If you decide you do, I've got options for you. I'm back up to six.

...and in between, you're on Bring a Trailer. You do this to yourself; I have no pity.A lot of my day is spent watching MotorTrend TV and youtube. If you don't want to be tempted, stay away from those

Yeah there's a lot of distance between running junk on Roadkill and overpriced fancy cars on BaT....and in between, you're on Bring a Trailer. You do this to yourself; I have no pity.

Floor, posts and new stair treads and risers are in.
The stairs and treads need another application of stain and then a top coat.
I spent a lot of time in the garage on Saturday shuffling stuff around to get the sand blaster accessible for my grandson.
Sunday, he came over and cleaned up a bunch of suspension components from his 2000 Lexus LS400 project.
He’s learning.
He’s also got a job at a dealer and is in the college apprenticeship program.

Another couple of hours on the side of the garage, I think this is about as good as I can get it till my son removes the rest of his stuff!

Todays adventure was kinda pushed on me by the wifey, she brought home a quart of oil base outdoor paint to try on the foundation.
I didn't think a quart was gonna go very far, but I got the whole front & side done, now I have to wait on the mason to come back & strip & replaster the other side, I did this side years ago before I had the driveway done.

Catching up on things here:
Railing is in.
Baseboards and casings mostly in. They’ll get finished when the cabinets go in.
The project expanded to the family room. Ripped out the wainscoting, painting the walls and ceiling is happening right this minute, new basement door, new baseboards and casings.
I did the door swap myself. I still need to drill for the latch set.

Yep, HO, I have tons of it, my Dad's collection is still tucked away in the attic, What I have out in the garage is from junk lot/yard sale stuff, I lost my "train room" when We Had Mom move in for her last few years.
If you decide to get back in I have a lot of rolling stock & engines I don't need, can load you up at bargain basement prices, have you looked at what new stuff costs these days???
Some of Dad's stuff.
I miss the room........................

Did something today that I haven't done in many years, washed & waxed the car, got the pick up washed & a coat of wax on the roof before I ran outta gas!
Cept for the plastic she doesn't look to bad for 17 years old?
Truck looks a tad better clean,
She's an 05 with 160K on it, I did the wheel wells a few years back, hench the stripe, too lazy to paint the whole thing.
Not a lotta shine left in the roof paint
So I may be driving my next project.
Worst spot has been rusting for quite a few years now
new problems bubbling up, literally, top of same wheel well. other side is still perfect?
& a small spot on the hood
The plastic is the real eye sore. Resto you in the hood, can you just clear over this or is it strip & repaint??? 
Looks a lot worse in person.
