East End Market

Hi Frank,

Looking nice. The windows look great.  You sure like to do shingle, don't you.  This is going to be a formidable challenge

Steve,

Yes, I love shingles, especially ones that have a lot of laser burn on them. If you notice, I ran the burned shingles up from the bottom and non burned near the top where they would have been shaded from the sun and environment. Another item for the judges of conformity.

speaking of formidable challenge, are you going to post a picture of your build? Inquiring minds want to know. Especially me.

Thanks Greg,

I really owe a lot to Raymo for posting the original pictures and helping with all the details. Kudo's to him. I agree, the history is quite interesting. Stay tuned, the building is close to assembly, like sometime this upcoming week.

Good Morning everyone,

Just an update on the build of East End Market. As you can see, progress is moving along. The front and left walls are glued, the rear wall has not yet been glued to the assembly. Lots of windows and doors. I am currently working on the middle and right exterior walls and hope to have then done in a day or two. The right end wall is quite complex and has a lot of shingles on it. Once the four walls are glued, then I will proceed with the rear additions and the front porches. Progress comes slowly, but it is starting to take shape. Lots of details to be concerned with and do not want to hurry. enjoy the pic. I'll attach a photo of the back view momentarily.

Here is the rear view. there are three pumpouts that will be added to the back of the structure. Soon, very soon. I still need to and some some more details to the siding to give it the old appearance.

Thank Mark,

Glad you are enjoying the structure build. Still a long way to go. as the old saying goes, " The devil is in the details" and this structure has a lot of them. I hope to be able to post all four walls and the middle wall assembled later today. It's too damn hot to be outside, so I am in the train room for the day, less any interruptions from the wife or her sister ( she is here visiting). thanks again for stopping by.

Good Day John,

Thanks for stopping by. Looks like you have been busy also, just the scale is different. As I mentioned to Mark, it is too hot to be outside for too long, so I am spending my time productively working on the structure as much as possible. Phyllis and here sister have been pretty good to leave me alone. Well, almost. Anyway, progress is being made. Making the detail drawings while on the cruise really has helped to speed up the build. What you see is two weeks of build. that being said, I have 7 weeks to finish. And that does not count making and adding some more trees to the layout, etc....

Good Morning Tom,

Thanks for stopping by. Progress has been slow, but It is starting to look like the building that Raymo took several pictures of. Lots of details to worry about and " "fit", that is always of concern. I hope to have the main structure assembled by the end of the day. Continuous checking for squareness is slowing me down a bit. I have been dry fitting as I go along and no major "Oh Shits" yet.

I have been working in the yard this morning and have a bit to do, and then the rest of the day I'll be in here. Later

Closing the Structure. The only wall remaining is the East End and lots of shingles and add the windows. The real fun will be gluing the outer panels to the inner box frame. close to making the decision on how to do that. Next picture momentarily.

Second picture for the day, The partially completed East End is show in front. Just more shingles and then add the windows. The shingle have the laser burn on them and really emphasis the worn, weathered look. More later, maybe.
