Re: Pandorum Stage I - MountainMan - 04-28-2011 As it turns out, I didn't need to. I found a new metal blade for my reciprocating saw and circumcised that sucker! That was some thick-walled metal pipe! I'll post a pic later, as I haven't had time to download today's pics yet. I did get pics of my "supervisory staff", however! ![]() I don't think I mentioned that the main lighting inside this trailer was originally gas in a double-mantle fixture installed in the dining area. :? I have pulled out more copper tubing that I thought possible, since the stove was also gas and of course, in those days, copper water piing as well. Might make a few cents off the recycle value. 8-) Well, as the old joke goes, coffee break is over to back on my head... ![]() Oh, and please tell me that I'm not the only one who can see those two pictures I think I finally got to post. Re: Pandorum Stage I - doctorwayne - 04-28-2011 Yup, they’re visible now. ![]() Wayne Re: Pandorum Stage I - Steamtrains - 04-28-2011 Ooopss...I'd been waiting for them to be on a new post.... :oops: Had to backtrack.... The place looks good.....Any danger of mud & stuff pouring down that foothill..?? Colorado would be one of my choices where to live...If I had my druthers... Where is the layout gonna go..??

No, there is an earth berm and a small gulley behind the back fence that doesn't show in the picture, but the water drains away into Oak Creek, just to the east of us. The layout is going in that trailer that I am stripping out. Re: Pandorum Stage I - Steamtrains - 04-29-2011 Aha...!!! A "movable" feast..!! ![]() Re: Pandorum Stage I - Sumpter250 - 04-29-2011 Steamtrains Wrote:Aha...!!!

In my mind, the best line ever to come out of Jurassic Park was Goldblum's: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should, or that it's even a good idea." ![]() Re: Pandorum Stage I - Steamtrains - 04-29-2011 "A Moveable Feast" is the title of one of E. Hemingway's novels... It was the last novel he wrote, and the book was published posthumously in 1964. Re: Pandorum Stage I - MountainMan - 04-30-2011 Good to know. Maybe Hemingway would have been helpful pulling all the old paneling out of this monster. I have discovered, in accordance with Murphy's Laws, that there is NOT a tool available for everything. :evil: ![]() Bending and pulling 1/8 inch wall panels is like trying to wrestle Jello... ![]() ![]() Re: Pandorum Stage I - Sumpter250 - 04-30-2011 MountainMan Wrote:In my mind, the best line ever to come out of Jurassic Park was Goldblum's: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should, or that it's even a good idea." ![]() That, and "Life...finds a way".

Re: Pandorum Stage I - Steamtrains - 04-30-2011 It's already an Olympic sport..!! They call it "Sumo Wrestling"..... ![]() Re: Pandorum Stage I - P5se Camelback - 04-30-2011 I understand that there are a few drinking establishments that have a pit full of jello for scantily-clad women to "wrestle" in ... ... for "red neck-style" entertainment.
(... of course, I've never never been in one myself ... I've only been told that they exist.)

You can do the same thing yourself with a bottle of Tequila, a water bed and a can of WD40...it's more fun if you bring along a girl... 8-) Re: Pandorum Stage I - MountainMan - 05-05-2011 The latest photos: ![]() Looking forward - door is to right. Windows stay and will be over work table, which will be under a staging yard. All other windows will be sealed and covered. ![]() Looking aft - air conditioner will move to roof and cool through skylight. This is Merlin - a Maine Coon Cat. His maximum adult weight will reach 25 lbs. He's one of my supervisors, and best friends with my other. ![]() ![]() This is Pele', the Volcano goddess. She is a Manx, therefore tail-less, and a handful-and-a-half. She's my other supervisor. They both miss the cabinets and counters because now they can't get into the remaining overhead storage bin where they used to lay and watch me. ![]() As you can see from the mess, I am gutting the trailer to the skin and framework, and will re-seal the rook, re-do the insulation, electrical wiring and sub-panel, and re-panel the inside prior to beginning the benchwork...and then the really fun parts begin! But I'm getting close to Stage II, despite the resemblance to something that looks like post-tornado footage. ![]() I'm also learning a lot about our digital camera and how to move pics around... :? |
