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.
Ryan
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
IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
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
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!
John
Temp is 44, gloomy and very windy.
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.

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.

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,
Mike C. from Indiana
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.
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.

jeffrey-wimberly Well the weather was pretty ugly yesterday, and not just one part of the day. All day. At times the rain was so heavy I could hardly hear myself think over the noise of the rain coming down on the roof. There's more coming today. I lost track of how many times the power went out yesterday. My internet service was down at least half the day and then it went down last night. Now here's the funny thing, my satellite TV service was up most of the day except of course during the heaviest parts of the storms. It was down maybe a total of twenty-five minutes all day while the cable was out close to seven hours all told. Over the entire day the power was out maybe a total of eight minutes. The power outages were just quick flickers, just long enough to make everything shut down. This occurred throughout the day. So naturally I didn't get much done as there was the constant threat of the power going off and staying off for a while. I hate days like that. According to the weather guesser the chance of rain today is 60%, significantly less than what we got yesterday.I had typed this post for my sign off last night but the cable went down again and this time was out until past midnight. See y'all later today.

Jeffrey.........I was thinking about you yesterday while watching the news about the severe weather in your neck of the woods between my snow cleanup, ibuprofen, and naps. Then my mind rewound to Hurricane Sandy and Spanky, AF Ray, HudsonJohn, Rich, and those up my way hammered by Mother Nature's same storm just a short couple of months ago.
Unlike youse guyz, time and again I have dodged weather-related bullets without significant damage or any inconvenience truly worthy of mention. Hundreds of thousands up my way have not been so lucky, and this morning the power crews are working furiously to restore power to over 100K Taxachusetts homes still sitting in the cold and darkness while others are returning to their homes and staring at major coastal water damage from Blizzard Nemo.
Then I watch the Boston news this morning and have to listen to people whine and moan about the condition of the metro roads up here in the aftermath of my storm. Yes, entire neighborhoods and streets in Boston proper are completely snowbound and unplowed because the streets are simply too narrow to plow them, with nowhere to put the snow save excavating it and hauling it away........cars buried. The Boston roads that are cleared are very narrow in spots, not plowed curb to curb. These were/are not and are not in harms way like the folks down your way.
Everything is relative. I am just glad you are safe and sound and were able to get through this most recent weather challenge without a major power outage (again), or with trees falling on your home or on your electrical service. You have had more than your fair share of Mother Nature.

Konnichiwa,
I am enjoying a quick afternoon coffee break so it is a good time to post. I did not get much sleep last night as the youngest child kept waking up and needed some attention. This prevented me from waking up in time to go out for a long run. I will have to make it up tomorrow. The workday has progressed nicely with no major issues arising.
Doug/John/Kev – Our towns and neighboring towns were small and closely connected. You couldn’t go far without someone the parents knew seeing you. Our parents weren’t worried and we were allowed to venture out a little, but you can be sure they knew where we were without having to see us themselves. The couple of times I did venture out too far never went unknown: either my mom or dad came and found me to bring me home or I was grilled the moment I walked in the door. The first words were “Mr. or Mrs. X saw you and your friends at X.” You can figure out how the rest of it went…
I’ll pray for all of us in need.
Sayonara,
Joe
Mike - prayers and prayers man. Also for BoC, John's family, and all of us.
Got some work done on the basement today - hooked up power to the bathroom with GFCI and etc. All works fine. Now I need to install the lights and fan and that is done. I can't find my circuit tester so that had to wait until next time. Daughter has more PT tomorrow - hope this finishes up soon. Tonight was the new Walking Dead - it will be on the DVR for when I get some free time with the player/tv. Nice chat with the guys tonight, and now just winding down and thinking about this week. We sure have a lot going on at work, never a dull moment! Tardis is ready, so let's go!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Good evening all,
It is cloudy in SE Indiana with temps in the 40s. Went to see daughter today as I was feeling ok. Her hemoglobin count is starting to stabilize, which is good. Temp is still high. Will be in hospital until at least Wednesday. Sister and nephew showed up as well to see her. Helped her move to another, bigger room. Got wife her Valentine Day present and watched "Once Upon a Time" tonight. No Beacon as it has been a long day. Thanks again for all the support. I hope everyone has a good day.

I've been kicking around designs on my future Man Building, trying to stay with in a budget (I have to be at least able to get it closed in once I start) and let me tell ya this money I have saved for this is going to run through my fingers like sand.
I guess it will still be 2 years until i am in it with interior finishes. Mean while I am still tinkering with the current lay out, learning new lessons every day with it.
If any one is interested in learning from my mistakes, I'll be glad to start a new thread on all that.
looks like the kids are having fun in the snow. those were the good ole' days. Now I am just as content sitting by the wood stove watching the snow.
KRMWhy is it when ever I order something for the trains it has to arrive on Saturday when the wife is home??
Kev - If you want, have them sent to my house and I will mail it on the very next Friday ensuring you that you won't ever get them on a Saturday

Good Evening all:
Just got back from my nephews 30th birthday party. We had a great time as usual.
DJ: After looking at those pics of the snow that you got, I AM GLAD THAT I RETIRED!!!
Kev: Yes, our system works well. It eliminates the what did you get now question. Now the question is, "When did you get that?" Answer: "A while ago. You never saw it before?"
Everyone have a Great Night!
OK, SJ, I won't......
Looking good RT!!
Slow day here in Central NJ....got up to 36F with blinding sunshine. I just got back from ShopRite. I usually go after 8 or 9, as the crowds lessen and the single females shop...but not tonight. Devils-Pens in the 'burg at 730. I should be up for most of it. Cleaned up a bit, did laundry and napped. NETTE auction had some stuff, so I was obligated to bid. Stopped by the LHS yesterday on the way home from work. Surprised he was open (so was he, for that matter), made my deposit, lusted over a Lionel T1 that was on consignment ($750!) talked about trains and headed home. Titans lost last night in OT....still was a fun night out. Not much else going on.

Train show today was as expected, no buys for me. Saw a few decent deals but I didn't need them. I will wait for the thingy with banilla at the ready. S.J.
EDIT: Don't ask, I don't know why
Good afternoon all,
Went to TTOS train meet today but did not buy anything as usual. Lots of things for sale though including a MTH Proto 1 Southern Railway F unit A-B-A set priced at $235. Probably could have had it for $200 but passed. I got cold feet after the other MTH electronic problems I'm having with an E6 proto 2. I fiddled with that thing a little more today but am afraid it's a lost cause. Tried all the advice I got from everybody but nothing works.
Gloomy day today with heavy overcast. No rain predicted though.
Ran trains in the garage for about an hour today using nothing but coventional trains including Williams. Ran like a champ. That stuff is bullet proof.
Brent, been a long time since I had to change a diaper. Enjoy it while it last. Pretty soon he will want to borrow the car. I like the name Mathew. John Denver wrote a song about Mathew. One of my favorites by him. Best wishes to your family.

Back home. Rushed back after a cold morning on the lake. Grappling for a broken cable off the end of the dock. Took the 14' Crappie Jon up that has a 24 V trolling motor only. Desided to leave it. Don't use it here anymore since the pond thing went away [which is going to h--l as not being looked after]. Works great in our creek and very manoverable.
Was worried about Jack. See he posted yesterday but not today. Skimmed the posts to see.
Buckeye, I've already shipped the 10 B&O engines like I usually send for your birthday. Oh well. Will have to ship more next week.
Actually rushed home to get Grady up on the shelter roof as more rain tonight. "Chief, I'm going have it finished Saturday." Pam said he had not been on the roof all weekend. Up there now if I can keep him up there. Has to rush home every so often. [getting a "drink" I think. probably be drunk by the time he finishes].
