We had a great time at Steve's on Friday night. He posted his account to the NCIOG blog so I'm adding the pix I took. I arrived a little early and picked up 9 pieces of rolling stock (including an L&N caboose!) that Steve had at a great price. Here the guys are getting ready to assemble & install a side wall. Mark & Keith are in the other room planning on what they are going to do for the electrical work.
Bob did much of the cutting of the lumber for the wall. Here it looks as if he is getting ready to cut off his fingers (which he didn't!)
Ken lends his hand to the cutting process and also finished the night with all of his digits.
Paul brought his "gun" and did the honors on securing the wall base plate to the floor.
I took my turn with the screw gun as Bob didn't want to hog all of the fun.
Bob puts in corner lumber for the small piece of drywall where this wall kicks out.
Keith was working so hard that his tongue started falling out. While he & Mark were doing the electrical work the lights kept going on & off.
Mark wanted a raise, so he got a ladder (ha!). One man working with two men watching - we should work for the government!
Mark and Keith are both experienced in doing electrical and they got a huge amount of work done including installing outlets, light fixtures, and switch boxes.
We had yummy snacks, great fellowship, and a good amount of progress!
Looks like big fun!
