I hope not. I've just spent 5 months cleaning out a basement, wiring lights, painting floors, running cables and now I've finished about 95% of the benchwork.

I'm sure I will have some outside duties to attend to but since I don't have trains running yet, I fully intend to be inside when I can pushing towards laying track.

Maybe once all the track is down and trains are running, I can spend a little more time doing something else.

Also, summers in Ontario are not all that long so you have to take advantage of good weather.

If I go to my in-laws cottage for a weekend, I'm taking a structure to work on.

Naw. Basement stays nice and cool on those hot summer days. Summer means more chores (the yard - yuck) but other than losing a few hours here and there, nothing changes.

Well today is the First full day of Spring and it comes to mind that Summer and warm weather is on its way to everybody not living in Florida. LOL Anyway, I fear that once again as it gets very warm and very nice out I will again back away from modeling like as if there was nothing else in the world of importance. It happens every season to most of us. Do you expect that you will be ccoming out of hibernation also? I know it is inevitable for me, but I hope that I can hold off until the middle of summer. I do look forward to railfanning trips again though. I love that so much and that is also a love of modeling. I hope that this summer when I go to Ohio I can find other modelers here that I can come to their layouts with some friends?? As summer approaches the feeling to go out more and improve my home comes on so strong that I can ignore it and I tend to just abandon the lovely layout. You are on the same path as me too huh? Tell us about it.
