Thanx Curt, thanx Mike, Thanx Gary, Thanx Larry C*, and thanx Phillip;

It's been a couple of days since I did anything on the RR.  Thanx to all of you guys for all the support, comments, and suggestions.  Also thanx to the 'drive-bys' (that term doesn't mean the same to my generation as the current state of society) that stopped in for a glance at what was goin' on.  We used to do 'drive-bys' of the local car lots every September to see if the new models were out yet, or 'drive-by' the new neighbor development going in a couple of miles away, or the new shopping center, or whatever was NEW           jeez things have shore got crazy                 .................

Anyways, thanx..... .....I re-did the train/bedroom yesterday afternoon(Monday)   ...I really like it a lot better now........

Before...........................and after...................................


In the next post I'll show some shots of what the RR looks like at the current moment in the 'new surroundings......all for now.......ya'll come back by, don't be a stranger...see ya....

OK...     here we go, from left to right........


from just outside the room.....and the entry wall..........
 
I know it ain't much of a 'grand tour' ...after all it's only 11'6"x10'..... but it looks so much different and better if you'd been present before and after..   ...........I sure do appreciate all the support and encouragement in the comments and suggestions; .....it helps give the project more meaning, at least to me..... ....my Dad said... "If what you're doing matters to somebody else, it damn sure better mean at least that much to YOU-if not a Hell-of a- lot more!!!"             ......so thanx again soooo much-'cause it does matter.....a lot.......see ya.......

Kyle, I think it's illegal to have that much fun.  

It's been awhile since I last checked in, your making great progress, the brickwork looks great.

Today (Thursday) I got up at 6:00 AM after sacking out at 2:15 AM ...I couldn't go back to sleep, so I made coffee....   ... the wife was up @6: 30AM and I'd already had my first cup and after sayin' the 'good-mornings' and a kiss       I decided(after my prayers and scripture..everyday AM)- I couldn't look at all the PINK FOAM AND WHITE RISERS ANYMORE         .....so I went to work,....first let's add some pink foam 'embankments' ...carve the strata ...AND PAINT THE SHIT OUTTA ALL THE STUFF             ........

What you are about to see is the results..... hope they look good......it's just the first coat to get ride of the pink and white         .................

let's start here.......

first this................

and now this............

.....and BOOM     we've got color      ..........I think that was 4 & 1/2 hours put to good use.........    .....thanx again for poppin' in......see ya.......          

[deemery]

There's a lot to be said for just slapping a coat of paint over unfinished pink foam, just to convince you that "there's scenery here."  The strata on the right side looks quite good.
