    Always look forward to Fridays and your blogs. I thought your being off Silver Fox was going to be a disappointment. Boy was I wrong. 😁 The two of you just go from one amazing thing to another. The Energized Bunny has not on you two and can't compare in laughs and entertainment. Looking to see where the Train Barn is going. How Sherlock will fit into the mix. Meet the new chickens in their Shaun Hen Palace and keeping up wit the puppies. Make me lots to anticipate. In case you did not notice....I am low maintenance 😀😀😊

Can't wait to see how it all goes this summer! Stay well guys! Big cuddles for Ollie & Otis!💕🐕🐕💕

    I’ve used in-floor heat and it was my fave way to heat our big home. We only put it in the kitchen and yet it warmed the whole house which was an old church. It was so good that no other heat was needed and we live in North Dakota US and its cold cold here! That’s going to be an amazing space! Cant wait to see this transform. You two are worker bees!

    You must both be chuffed to bits. What an undertaking. Would it be worth having cupboards against the walls up to waist level, with a drop down bit that spans the door then you could have trains running all the way round the outside as well as in the middle and everywhere else you have planned. Love the ceiling. Best toy ever!!!

    Like the plan, I know your contractor knows best, but just to keep the "original atmosphere in place when you pour the new floor you should consider "stamping in a design that reflects the slap rocks that currently makes up the floor. It will look like there are rocks laid confined

    Well, what a difference a clean out makes, Firstly I agree that getting guidance on heating and cooling from your builder is a great thing, if he has the experience and suggests things within your budget, go for it. I am helping a guy here to sort out his train lay out. he unfortunately put down a lot of secondhand track then built his scenes around the track, now the tracks need attention, and we have difficulty working on the track without disturbing the buildings. make sure the track works before laying out your montage.
