Another day's progress - The second floor was added on the structure. When I went to add the floor, I found the the doors were too low. OOPS. That meant cutting the doors higher in their opening and hoping that the floor boards would cover the bottom of the door opening. As luck would have it, that worked. The stairs were cut, painted and added along with the solid wall along the stair well. Next will be the second floor front and side walls, then the small roof on the main building.  Some of the parts are cut, so much of it will be assembly.

Enjoy the update and more pics tomorrow.

Sam,

Welcome and thank you for viewing my build. Progress is being made daily, so keep watching. Here is another view of the building since earlier today. I added the left porch face. Tomorrow, it will be columns and the roof, or I hope so.

Good Evening Robert,
It was great talking to you the other day. Sounds like Lou was doing a wonderful job photographing your layout. Look forward to see your progress. Thank you for the kind words on the Station. Tell Lou that I would be glad to send him the drawings of the Ft. Edwards station. While it would be a challenge to build it on On30, I have so-o-o much to do on my layout.

I'll let you know how East End Market fairs in the contest room. Six weeks to go and there is so much to do. More pictures tomorrow. Keep in touch.

On the other hand, studies have shown people tend to make the same mistake*.  So I've been known to 'mismeasure twice, cut three times' :-)

Greg,
I know the saying, i even have the "T" shirt ( really). that does not mean that we occasionally make a boo boo. Fortunately, most have been small and easy to correct.

good morning Dave,

I'm not one for studies because the typical selection group is so small. Me, I just muddle along working with the end in mind. Yes, i have made a couple, but sometimes there are other issues to contend with like warping wood, the wrong color, etc.. You get the idea. Progress on East end Market is driven by my inner self to get it right and on time. Just like the railroads used to do. Thanks for stopping by. Need to get back to the model.

Good Evening All,

Closing in on finishing all the porches on the front side of the structure. Whew, Its 8:45 pm and its 107 outside. Welcome to my summer. that's why I'm in the train room or at least one of the reasons! Then there is the two windows / doors etc... The non to the back and then the roof and then DONE!!! Oh yes then there is some weathering. Anyway, enjoy the pic.

Good afternoon john,

Yes, Parts of our summer could be compared toy your winter. These are times when you need to be inside. Inside and working on your railroad is all the better. to answer your question regarding 100 plus degrees, i call it UGLY, especially when the humidity is up. 100 degrees with 2 5 humidity is a piece of cake. 60% not so good.
