 Thanks to all that said prayers for my spouse Sandy who had cancer surgery this year and to our son Anthony who had a stroke in January. Surgery went well for Sandy to remove the cancerous tumor 10 weeks ago and soon next month she will have two weeks of radiation treatments as a follow up. Anthony is back to candy making too. Staying positive thru it all and glad to see the warmer weather to work outdoors. Will post some new updates...Tommy

 Here's a few updates of the SRMW Sayles project...enjoy the photos of the sections painted and assembled for the mill tower, the resin wall prep and assembly of the main mill and the powerhouse structure. Also shown is the green bottle brush paint used on the SRMW Whitinsville Spinning Ring Co. mill and the red craft paint used on the Sayles powerhouse structure.....Tommy

 Here's a few updates of the SRMW Whitinsville Spinning Ring Co. mill project...enjoy the photos of the assembled resin wall sections of the main mill held together with some rubber bands instead of clamps and ready for a little Squardon Green Putty to touch up the seams, my last tube of another great item...the walls are testing the top roof section with the transfer tape ready to use for the slate shingles, all the wood pieces are braced for the side addition and powerhouse buildings and other trim pieces cut to length for the roof assembly and painted. The narrow roof area windows are glazed ready for assembly too....last photo is a FSM Chippy Hollow that finally received the Campbell shingles recently....Tommy

 One more update tonight on the SRMW Lamson Mill project build...my spouse picked out the new color because she liked the way the FSM Yehudah's Heating, Jewel Series # 11 turned out. I used a spray paint color called RustOleum Satin Paprika for the first time which will dry with a sheen, but then after the A/I wash followed by some grey/white/tan chalk mix  for the mortar lines that will do the trick. First photo shows the rear of the mill with the flat red auto primer, then the before and after photos of the FSM kit, finally showing a partial photo of the Lamson complex ready to get toned down...happy wife, happy life, 51 1/2 years and counting.....Tommy
