KRMwrconstructionKev, welcome on the track. Thanks Ryan! The 8' garage doors are in the plan. I know way to many people that skimped and didnt want to spent the extra few hundred on the 8' doors, and now they have useless garages. Now, to change them, they have structual changes and the cost would exceede 1500.00 ...DUMB So true. I know a lot of people that let the contractors install 8' wide and 7' tall doors. Worthless. Just as important is that the doors be 10' wide if you have a pickup truck or may ever have one. My wife's doors are 9' wide and 8' high. Very tight for the Silverado but very nice for a car. I don't like 16' doors because they let way to much heat out if your heating. My shed doors are 10' wide and 8' high and are great. Time for me to call it a night.

Amen on the door size. Bigger is better hands down both dimensions (W x H) They can't be too wide or too tall. Period!!!! In the short run they need to accomodate whatever you MAY have to throw at them. In the long run, you will regret going smaller AND a potential purchaser of your home who is savvy will be looking for the same thing, more functional LWH.
I've got/inherited the "standard 24' wide garage (deeper than 24' though) on which the original builder put two separate garage doors. Yes, it's ok functionally, has nice curb appeal, and can satisfy a lot including mitigating the heat loss KEV mentioned when you open and close the doors or have to leave one door open while one is in and out.
Then reality (for me) set in after we lived here for a while. You can't easily maneuver vehicles to the left or the right when you need additional space on one side of the vehicle(s) or the other. The overhang makes top vehicle clearance problematic (impossible) for an SUV with roof luggage carriers installed. Wider vehicles......ya better pray the folding in the mirrors will give you enough clearance.
Then there is my local body shop who loves working on repairing scraped/destroyed side view mirrors (courtesy of the wifey) and the door frame damage incurred with the same snafu. That is money down the drain, money that could be better spent in the trainroom or alternatively at the Coach outlet store (wife's handbags).
It pains me to think how tight the horizontal squeeze is every time I am in the market for a new vehicle. I am limited in what I can buy. Or when we have an uncleared mid-day snowstorm and the wife is out.......have to tell her to leave the car out when she gets home so that on glare ice and/or the snow pack she doesn't slide the back end left or right and into the framing. You might say "Just tell the wife to be careful"........but some of us know how that works out. Got any inexperienced teen drivers in the house who can drive forward ok but reverse is a whole other story?
I like to "stage" my snowblower behind the wife's car so that I have a straight shot out of the garage door on her side when the snow level is up a couple of feet from accumulation and drifting. A wider garage door should would have been very nice.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Jack / Kev, I see it every morning when I leave for work. My neighbor down the lane, who is a contractor, who should have known better, Built as garage, and can barely get his dually work truck with ladder rack in it.
he has to fold the mirrors in, and prop a 2x4 under the garage door to keep it up enough to clear the ladder rack. If he has a ladder on the rack, forget it. Any passenger have to get out before he puts it in the garage.
And he had the same truck when he built the garage.
anyway, looking like a cool rainy day here, mud every where.
Ryan
Good morning all,
It is windy in SE indiana with temps in the 30s/40s. Quiet day at work. No news on the daughter front yet, but it is early. TBIL and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

Warm and windy here this morning. It's howling!

Aloha. Cold and blustery here too. It was really loud last evening. We had a nice celebration of volunteers at church, with hot dogs and a movie. My youngest won a raffle prize of candy and some movie tix, which when you are ten is very exciting. Nice TARDIS ride with the boys too. Looks like somebody left it in on the roof of the engine house. I got an inspiration yesterday to work on Grumbly Town - which is fairly large for being in the back corner of the layout, full of ceramic buildings and misc. I've moved things around over time but never really messed with it since building the first layout in this crawl space years ago. So I wanted to highlight one of Ivor's few industrial customers, Grumbly Gasworks, and use what I could take to build up Llaniog which is right in the front of the layout and currently represented only by Dai's station. Now I can ponder what to do with Llaniog. Here's Grumbly's new look:
DJ, my youngest Ben loves Tyler's fort. His only reflects our 8 inches or so of the white stuff.Kev and Jack, are you talking about individual garage doors? I just have one gigantic one that stretches across both spaces for the cars.

Doug you have a lot of self control. If it were mine, I know without any doubt there would be track in all that wide open space you have. No big plans for the day, granny is baking cookies for a ladies meeting, not sure if I will get a sample or not. Maybe do a little toy train running today..S.J.

Good Morning, 48 and raining Down the Jersey Shore!
Thanks to the temp and the rain, the snow is almost gone. Tomorrow it is take Mom for her visit with the radiation doc. School starts tonight, so from now to May, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night I will be back to teaching. As soon as the weather breaks I will be getting my back yard back in order.
Garage Doors: My attached garage has the same doors as Jack's Garage. They look great but they are a pain and yes my wife has taken mirrors off various cars that we have owned.
Mike C: Continued Prayers.
Brutus, Jim, Good Luck to your daughter.
Dennis, Congrats on the Geep.
Jack, Glad that you made out ok. After Sandy I felt lucky because my house was not damaged. Boston, like any old city has narrow streets an like you said no place to plow. People do not understand that and they get anxious and nervous.
Demay, Joe, I know what you mean about how friends of our parents looked out for us. I grew up in a small City, 1.2 square miles. Friends of mine their dads were cops and they always tried to keep an eye on us and almost everybody knew each other. We got away with nothing.
Chuck: I had my Cheerios.
Blown Out: Enjoy Wally World. Watch out for the Walmartians.
Everyone,
Enjoy the Day!

On to more important things......trying to catch up on my POT reading. Thanks to everyone for all of the well wishes and concerns expressed here throughout Blizzard Nemo!!!
As might be expected, the housebound wifey totally monopolized the home PC the entire weekend during the storm while I was otherwise engaged serving as the RI52 local DPW, clearing snow on my property for two solid days.
My city's DPW snow plow crews (and private contractors) did their very best clearing the roads and did what I consider a credible job to open and then keep the roads somewhat open. They deserve accolades for what they accomplished during arguably one of the top 3 blizzards of the past century. In these circumstances, the snow was falling at times 3-4 inches per hour at times, and the hurricane-force winds re-covered the roads nearly as fast as they could be plowed.
Meanwhile, the entire (severely depleted by budget cuts) fire department had bigger fish to fry during the storm, responding to emergencies while keeping watch for fires. Normally after storms such as this, the fire department then takes on the formidable task of digging out all of the hydrants. Able-bodied citizens should step up and handle a lot of these fire hydrant excavations......for safety's sake, for themselves, for their less capable neighbors, and for the fire department. People should not have to be told it's ALL hands on deck. Sadly, that is not human nature in today's "it's all about me" society and culture of dependence. Anywho, yesterday afternoon a neighbor (20 years younger than yours truly) and I spent an hour with shovels and snowblowers, chopping away to locate and then completely excavate the fire hydrant that services the nearby homes.
The hydrant in question is located across my road. There was a solid 50 yard stretch of compressed snow/ice about 7 feet tall and 12 feet wide. The hydrant flags my neighbor had placed on and by the hydrant were nowhere to be seen.
You guessed it. Like all of the previous storms, the same two guys (me and my neighbor, who always take on the excavation task) set to digging while other "neighbors" who live proximate to/are serviced by the hydrant merrily walk by with their dogs and kids, enjoying the wonders of nature, expecting someone else to do all of the work.........yet again!!!!
I felt like saying "We sure could use some help here for a change instead of your just offering your smiles and well wishes." But what good would it do? So my partner and I and kept on digging. Fortunately for me, the other guy digging with me is a paramedic with the local fire department in the event this OLD COOT's heart was not equal to the task. No, Chuck, I didn't eat my Cheerios, had Sugar Smacks instead. We were ultimately victorious of course and now have the only excavated fire hydrant for several hundred yards.
Spanky.......your snow pictures warmed my heart. Who woulda thunk just a few short months ago Tyler and Corey would be out building snow forts and castles?
BOC........prayers continue on these latest medical news bulletins.
MikeC......I hope this morning finds your daughter making steady progress under very capable hands. I also hope she is reaches a less painful "stir crazy" mode in another day or two.
Brutus........I was glad to read your daughter is hammering away at the PT with her knee. While she and you/Char may be concerned about the longer term functionality of her knee, let me assure you that the extent to which she recovers is mostly in her hands.
I blew out my knee when I was younger. the orthopedic surgeon measured the "tightness" and strength of the "good knee" pre-op and declared that my (congenitally loose) knee injury ("bad knee) was only a matter of time. He was amazed at how I had gotten through all my high school and college sports without blowing one of the kees out earlier in life. After three surgeries on my knee I had spent six months of HEAVY PT at home (four sessions daily) and at the gym 3-4 times a week. Finally the Doc declared the bad knee ready to resume "normal" activity. He noted that both knees were light years better than probably at any time in my life. No, I did not follow all of his final words of advice: give up any activities that involved toquing and twisting the knees......
KEV.........you have my continued prayers for your friend Blaze.
Later, gang. In my case it is "Thank God It's Monday. I survived Nemo and feel surprisingly none the worse for wear.
PS: Do you more seasoned guys remember the Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe) episode where the evil Emperor Ming had captured Flash and had him under the whip, shovelling coal into the emperor's blast furnaces? That would have been me this past weekend except the ambient temperatures were more accomodating for such slave labor. Hmmmmmmmm.......picture the evil Princess Pam (my wife) instead of the evil emperor Ming. Must make a mental note to buy her the correct black floor length cape and headgear. Although she is blonde, the wife isn't the innocent Dale Arden type. For you youngsters out there...... http://flashgordon.wikia.com/wiki/Dale_Arden
cnw1995Kev and Jack, are you talking about individual garage doors? I just have one gigantic one that stretches across both spaces for the cars.
Exactly!!!!!!!!! You have the right door while I have the far less functional two.
My set-up also requires two sets of garage door openers and remotes. And the large single door set ups use a large lateral (effective, above the door opening) compression springs that really help out the opener and seem to hold up. The stupid inadequate pairs that run along the tracks for each of my miniscule doors keep snapping (at the attachment points, hook) and have to be replaced. I am on my third set/pair. Garage door expert who has been in the business for 48 years cannot explain why these spring pairs don't hold up except to say that the spring companies don't temper the ends properly (are brittle). Regardless of manufacturer, and he has tried them all.
If I didn't have the safety cables installed in the event of a spring failure, I might have been decapitated or scalped long ago when the springs had let go during one of the failures while I was standing in the garage. BOING!!!!!!!!!
Jack, here at the shop we have 12 wide by 8 high doors. those safty cables are a MUST we had one come loose as I was putting the door up and the cable from the rollers wrapped around my wrist and took me with it it. Thank god they were only 8' high had it been one of thoose larger industrial doors, I have no doubt it would have ripped my arm clean off.
stil kicking the plans around, its a must that it goes up with complete exterior finishes right off the bat. Interior stuff can wait till next winter. the cash is running through my fingers, 1000 here 2000 there just keeps going.
I also want it to be big. theres no point if i am right where I am now with space in the basement. or even close . might as well stay in the basement.
any way...... my stomach say its lunch time, but the clock says I have to wait another half hour. I need to re up my snack cupboard at the office.

Good morning,
Very windy and in the mid 30s
Doug, Jack is off 180 degrees on his thoughts of garage doors IMHO. One large door is the worse case scenario, Would you like to open up one whole wall of your house every time you wanted to come in or out from the cold, rain, snow, or wind? Heck NO. Why would you want to expose your household goods to that? Same with the things you have in your garage.
The bigest reason is Heating and Cooling. I heat and AC my shed / garage. There thousands of dollars worth of tools and equipment in there that I do not want wet, or dusty if not need be. We only use one side of Sandra’s garage most of the time. Even though we don’t heat her garage we still only need as much space opening up at one time as need be. We use high-speed openers and the doors have above the door coil springs not the old outdated long springs on the side rails.
Other negatives of one large door is most of them are only 16’ wide. The same span as two 8' doors only "worse" there is NO space in the middle. So in order to get in and out with two cars or worse yet two PU trucks you have no room for the doors to open up without fear of hitting the other car or truck.
Also, drive around your neighborhood and look at all of the houses with one large door and I bet you will see only one car in the garage with the other car outside. The other side will just be full of junk that they don't need and would not have if the other car fit. But with one door two cars don't fit for Sh&t. Also look at those garages with one large door and 95% of them will have a nice sag in the header above them that looks like heck. 16 feet is too much span for any header to handle especially if it is carrying an upper floor.
The best door set up IMHO is a 10’wide and at least a 8’ high single door. Also a min of 10’ ceiling will always be something you will not regret. If you have two doors they need to be the same size. No less than 2’ between the doors and 2’ of wall on the outside of the doors. Now you got something you can use with ease.
But as this subject started out with, talking with Ryan about his new construction, this is one of many things that should be thought out before the construction. Thinking about it after the garage is built,,,,,,,,,, is Tooo Late and your sol.

Hey-yo....quickie while I lunch...
Both houses I lived in had 1 door for 2 cars. And, yes, I made SURE that I got BOTH of my cars inside. It took and out building (and Arrow kit) for me to claim it, and calim it I did. The 2nd house, the Queen decided I was banned from parking in (until after her attempt to divorce me). I parked the wagon inside until my departure. She then used the remaining half to put her junk in it.
Jack, glad you are ok. As a firefighter, thank you for clearing the hydrant. I take care of the one nearest my house. And you are right, most citizens don't bother. Yes I remember Buster Crabbe and Flash Gordon....Saturdays. Sundays was war movies after Wonderama!!

Not much else happening. Hopefully, I'll check back later!

Kev, theres alot I am thining about. of course that huge clear span area above the garage / workshop keeps nixing out all the possible negatives and draw backs. The biggest issue I am facing is Climate control. Not so much for the work shop, but for the train area. My intent was to put a wood fired furnace in the work shop and using an air filtration system, duct it inot the train area and work shop. But I know the filters will not get everything.
A heat pump system would be ideal, but heat pumps are not effecient in my area. (gets too cold)
I really dont want to buy oil or propane, but that how its looking for the second floor, a seperate heating / cooling system
She wants to get an outdoor wood burner, and I agree, but i dont kow if the water coils can be split between two buildings?
Maybe a pellet stove and wall A/C units?
I just want it at a constantant temature, except when i am in there working. I am thining 55 / 60 ion winter and 80ish in summer
And, BTW our insurance co does not allow wood stoves in garages, But this is a work shop? Also need to consider the insurance on the trains....
Heres a questsion for the CHEIF: does having an alarm on your "box" reduce your insurance?

Obiously long term costs are a factor on this as well
Good afternoon. It's 50° here with 100% humidity. It's cloudy with a 70% chance of rain. The high will be 58°.We had another big storm slam through around 3:00 - 3:30 am. Lots of lightning and thunder and lots of rain. Since the several others have come through and I can see more on the way on the radar map.
Cable internet service has been down more than up today. I don't know why I keep paying for it. I'm definitely not getting my moneys worth. I've been at my fathers place most all day so far. We had breakfast in New Llano at the Waffle Shoppe and now he's working on lunch. So far I've seen cabbage, bacon, onions and peppers. I peeled the onions and cooked the bacon while he cut up the cabbage and peppers. Then he started on cutting up the onions when I was getting on this old computer I have here. There's another storm coming so I have to get out of here.

Ryan........That indeed is one very large space cubic feet-wise (with the tall ceiling) to control the temps year round. Have you thought about electric heat? Used to be the high priced spread back in the early 90s but no longer. A couple of ceiling fans to move the heat where you want it, down closer to the floor where you will be playing working? Just a thought.
Jack, I have nothing against electric heat, when used responsibly. Hers the PROBLEM
for the first 2 years we were in the house, we just had the wood stove. Then I torn down a building that had a newer Heat pump (which arnt effecient in my area), but we were more after the central A/C aspect of it.
First winter with the heat pump: Back track: around my area you have to have back up heat in a heat pump, this I got for free had electric back up heat
any way, we agreed to use the wood stove as much as possible, and "test Drive" the heat pump using the electric bill as the end result.
well, the electric bill hardly went up, so we were "living it up in the heat" and I wasnt cuttin fire wood (Ididnt have a log splitter back then, so fire wood was a real chore)
First spring with the heat pump: we get a 5,000.00 electric bill
turns out the power company never actaully read our meter for 5 months, and based it on the prior years usage..............................................
So, out went the heat pump
and ever since she has been completly freaked out about anything electric. I can't argue with her on this one, it was a slap in the face for me too.
so thats that. She even wants me to have the garage on its own meter, so its not HER problem every month.... LOL
I did by the way, spend the afternoon online looking at pellet stoves, and That seems to be the way to go for the train room. And the a few wall a/C units for summer. I can see it now, a little wet bar, some sofas, a TV. and the pellet stove in an area with trains running all around it........ I just may never go in the house again...
And the INS co is just gonna have to get over the wood stove in the lower work shop area

Busy day. Finally got back home. Ribbon cutting and etc. Went to new restaurant. Buffaloe Brothers wings which has burgers and other stuff too. Got grilled bar-be-que wings. Outstanding. Had not had grilled at a restaurant. Use to do them myself at work for my employees. Then meetings. Now a break before a reception at 6.
Going by Verizon and see what they can do about some changes in my phone. Sent a big software up date Sat. and changed most of the way my phone looks and operates. Oh well.
Back out to the box for a few.
Rainy and real warm.

More rain tonight and it's looking like still more tomorrow. Calling it a night. It's been a busy day for me. I fixed quite a few things today, none of them mine. See y'all tomorrow.
Heading to bed now. Night everyone.
Sunny and 40's here today. Was in the low 60's and windy as heck yesterday. The wind was hitting the front of the house and making the mail slot 'sing'. Kind of a two octive below middle 'C' sport of sound.
Work has been a zoo lately. We are trying to get some projects finished up on a tight time line and we are also trying to get the next round of projects started without losing too much time up front to paperwork so we don't get caught with thight timing at the end of those projects. I think we've made enough material last week to supply about three month's worth of Dilbert cartoons!
All for now.
OKAY - now we know where SJ parked it last night! The banilla mixture was a little too rich
Thanks for the thoughts guys, she is doing a lot better than last year - week after week she seems to be improving. Jack - Chewy's eye is better, but not there yet. But her uterus was prolapsed on the side? They are having us put some goop on it for a while and they might have to loop it, push it up and cut off the bad part - sounds like a hemorroid procedure as Doug said. Our garage is big enough for the two vehicles, but not much else. If we ever do move or do anything major to the house, that is one change I would opt for - about 3 feet wider and the door another section taller. We don't have problems pulling in under the door now, though; but we are not using a work vehicle with a ladder either. We will probable need a new furnace in a few years. They tried to talk us into upgrading now, since the law just rolled over to require 90 percent efficiency I think? Flash Gordon with Buster Crabbe was awesome. Like Rich, we used to watch them on Saturday mornings. They had a cartoon based on Flash back in the 80's too, which was really good. Okay - TARDIS is ready, let's fly boys!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Busy day. Tomorrow is not as busy.
WR, just got to read back over posts while I was gone. Not sure about ins. deduction on alarm system. Will ask my agent. The one I have is wireless and reaches to the house. So it serves as alarm for the gun safe in the house and Box too. Still have extra sensors but not using them. If I set up the storage building and shop, wifey would probably set it off. Also for main doors in the house, she would probably set it off. Has key "fobs". Was not expensive and easy to install. Object is to scare someone off as inside and outside sirens. Also signs give warnings to anyone snooping around.
Off to bed. Sleep tight.
Konnichiwa,
I just wrapping up the workday and have a few minutes to post before leaving for home. Today started off with a 17-mile run. I did not run it as fast as I hoped, but the cold winds really worked against me today. I have 12 days until the marathon so I will be running much less until then. The workday rolled by pretty quickly and tonight should be a relaxing day at home.
SJ – That’s good news. It’s best to be safe.
Brutus – I’m glad your daughter is improving.
Where has Laz been?

Good morning. It's 50° with 100% humidity. Very cloudy with lots of rain. The high will be 65°.Why am I up so early? I was never down. Certain side effects of some of my meds have kept me on the run to then throne room all night. Maybe I can get some sleep later.No plans for today.
Good morning.
Still a little tired from last night. I can feel it in my legs. Hopefully tonight won't be as taxing.
Aside from work, no plans for today. Saving up for a train show in Scranton that is to take place during the first weekend of March.
Good Morning from Blueberryhill RR....
It is a cloudy 30 degrees. Going up to 40 today with a chance of rain.
Today is a busy day. I have the usual chores to do and then a small train project to work on. This should take me to lunchtime. Then, I can relax and take a nice nap.
LAZ..... We miss you.
