The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VIII.. Stop In!!!

[tompm]

Good afternoon folks

It is 81 heading to 85 and no rain.

Isaias dumped a bunch of rain on us. I spent most of yesterday dealing with water in the basement. It was bad but we had worse before we had the house repointed. We did not loose anything just some extra cardboard boxes I was meaning to get rid of. The real damage was to the pergola which was destroyed. The wind and the rain caused it to collapse. Today's chore is to begin disassemble it.

I did get some modeling in. I built three Accurail PRR 40 FT wood reefers, a MDC/Roundhouse PRR wood express reefer, and a MDC/Roundhouse Central Vermont reefer. I finished adding the last parts to the two Accurail Lehigh & New England wood outside truss boxcars. I also added the ladders to a MDC/Roundhouse Reading NE caboose. I also pained the ladders and handrails. I need to hit them all with Dullcoat before weathering.

Here is what's left of the pergola.





I hope everybody has a good day.
