Who is that note on the framework addressed to? [(-D]
Altonna…hey, when were you in my basement taking this photograph? It’s amazing how similar our respective layouts and layout rooms resemble one another. [:-^]

HAHAHA!!!
Ahhhh… Tis lovely to be a bachelor with no rules leans back in chair, arms behind head
LOL, I know, but I had to do something. That foam board is the kind that sort of interlocks together and I have a lip there and I know if I didn’t say something, orrrrr get off my butt and get the fascia on there someone would lean on it…namely me, and break it.
LOL @ Wayne, really? You’ll have to post a pic.
Ok…here ya go. [:)] Two pics, one before one after a few months.
Responding to the above, I had a similar issue over ten years ago and it resulted in my moving out, tearing down my layout and getting divorced. The problem wasn’t with the trains to be fair, there was a basic problem that the trains only aggrivated, so I would hazard with most marriages which trains were blamed for the failure, if you looked deeper, you’d find it was only part of the problem, or a straw that broke the proverbial camels back.
It looks like the Title of this topic doesn’t match the outcome provided by the original poster. He put his foot down and got his toes gut off. Basically this is a “wife” who wears the pants in the marriage issue, where the husband calls the wife his boss, even if only behind her back.
I am remarried now and I’ve had this talk with my second wife, the issue of the wife who is “boss” and all that. She basically resents that kind of situation and women who “rule” over their husbands like that, some brutally so. My ex was a “controller” type woman no doubt about it - I knew it during the time and for sure know it now. It isn’t easy being married to a controller and men have two choices, suck it up and be a door matt, and life with it. Some can do it for a while, some long time. Others find it unacceptable and its only a matter of time when you have to put a stop to that kind of loveless tyranny.
I purposefully took my time, years in fact, before I committed to another woman to re-marry and tried to purposefully avoid the personality issues I had with 1st wife. Thats not to say there aren’t common issues to all marriages like putting effort and attention into them,but I had issues starting within a couple months so It wa
Lets see. The kids moved out, moved back in with more stuff. Moved out again leaving some stuff behind. Moved back in again with even more stuff. Moved back out again leaving more behind! I took all the stuff/junk left behind and consolidated it into one room. Told them after 6 months the truck is getting loaded and going to the dump. One kid moved back in again. Then moved out again leaving more stuff behind. We have 4 beds and 5 dressers in the smaller room. I finally put a lock on the empty room and stocked lumber for the upcoming railroad empire. One kid wanted to move back in and the wife and I said she can have the room with all their stuff in it. After 3 dump runs and 2 runs to the dumps treasure chest.(used stuff that is too good to throw away) She is moved back in and the larger room is still the railroad empire. After she moves out again the washer/ drier is going in that room and the bathroom is getting enlarged with a whirlpool and separate shower. The basement is way too damp for the railroad. We have tried everything to dry it out but never could.
The wife is OK with my hobby. But then again the only reason she keeps me around is to kill spiders, start the mower, and lift things. I figure if I get her an electric start mower it would cut my work load in half.

What can I say other than LOL
Ah, the old expansion. My mom always bugged me about the basement being a train wreck (pun intended) and almost heaved my equipment into the garbage, had my dad not convinced her to only go Godzilla on the town. 3 weeks later, my room was my train room. Having a floor layout does have it’s perks and curses. That was a perk-moving it all upstairs. Still, if you run the staging under the bed, you have to army crawl but you still have the spare bedroom. When the in-laws are there, just pretend the line is closed for matainence![:-^]
Jay! You’re right! [(-D][(-D][(-D]
She did bring the chair(s) back tonight but she made ME go out to the car to unload them! I ask you - was that fair?!?[:'(][;)]
