I'm almost sorry the post was edited there, JoeLee1. "Quantum Hot" was a more than apt description of the atmosphere in one of those Quonset huts on a July afternoon...

Wow, that's putting in some time! Two bulkheads, and a fuzzy foam center core. Yeah, I can see where nylon and the trackball would not get enough adhesion to roll. If you haven't spent enough time on it already, you might try "pick-a-part" foam; the lining in delicate equipment cases. Most...

From what I've read, the trackball X/Y optical encoders still work, so you're lacking the roller covers? If the foam is adhered to cylindrical rubber rollers, versus a foam roller stacked between end plates (hard to tell from the one photo), the O-ring trick looks promising. An alternative...

Nice work with the Ikea wardrobe blend, and yes, that sign outside the "Window House" is an inspired bit of whimsy. :)

Dodge Grand Caravan. Couldn't pull anything approaching a decent trailer, but with the seats out, that thing could swallow enough 4x8 sheets of plywood to settle onto the bump stops, shut the hatch, and drive back to the house in dry, air conditioned comfort. Embrace the ****, my friend, make...

Pfft! I say again, PFFT! I'd post a photo of the sad state of affairs in what passes for a "garage" on this place, but myself and the camera would die of shame. The above photo is organized. You can see the floor for large stretches, and run the chair out the door w/o striking obstacles. ;-)

That's one clean looking building, sir! Been following this for months, nervously watching those shingles hanging over the eaves and awaiting that anguished cry about a windstorm ripping tabs off, but you beat the odds! :-D Cheers!

PITA is a fair description of the prepwork so far on my own project. :( If I'd just had the foresight to buy a property in either of the adjacent counties, I could build a leaning tower "Garage Mahal" that explodes in flame every other month, and no one would bat an eye. As it is, I live in a...

Subscribed for suffering! ;) Not sure if the view from your construction site is indicative of that much distress, though. Technological plagues are my 8-4:30 day job, I can relate.

Could be worse. Could be working on 'Z'-scale. I've heard it referred to as "moving jewelry". :eyecrazy: I'll keep my HO and LGB / Aristocraft G-scale, thanks! :p Nice work all around, love the shed!

The second photo, puts a smile on my face to see artistry and technology in a shot. Nice work on the garage build, good eye for photography. :-)

Hello? <knock> I was curious if you made any progress on the doors. Man, this weather has been nuts...

I think he means, how did you manage to place the fixtures, so the light pattern from them almost perfectly intersects the upper corners of the shutters. As I said before, a touch of elegance... :thumbup:

Those lights add a touch of elegance. Very nice build, sir! Subscribed for reference. :-)

Much! Subscribing... :D
