The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

I really wonder about HOA's sometimes. I have never heard anyone say anything good about them.

You and me both, though the few places around here that have HOA's tend to be very clean and organized with how they display their properties.

If you don't have room I'll store it for you. As long as I get to use it.

Sure but you have to put Hitec and DA gear in it for me

I live in a subdivision that doesn't have one and I really wish it did about this time of year. The number of people that won't cut their grass is amazing. One of the houses right on the lake got a new owner last spring. They have only cut the grass on the lake side of their house once this year and have only cut the street side a handful of times. And they're not the only ones. The city used to be good about making them cut it. but in the last few years they wont do a thing. HOA's can suck, but not having one can kill your property values.

Spent last night finishing an inventory of HO locomotives that were left to me and two others. The grand total is 266.

Next is the many hundreds of box cars, cabooses and other rolling stock.

The good news is that this baby is most likely coming home with me.

That is awesome. I would love to have a lathe.

You going to put tires on those rims or no?

No, the whole reason for rims only was to get the trailer low enough to get in the garage. However it's not going to work no matter what I do. I re-measured the height with those small rims and I'm just over an inch too tall. =/ Gonna have to either park it at a storage lot, or sell it.

Hey @HornetNZ maybe if they stick that lathe in your trailer it will drop it low enough to slip in!!!

I was thinking that was the plan. But then I was thinking it would be a PITA to have to swap wheels every time you went to the field.

I say sell it and buy a low profile trailer.

@HornetNZ ,
I just had a thought. Are you allowed to park a mini van outside? If so, they can be picked up pretty cheap. Gut it out or buy a cargo van.
