Here's what I mean, I've got that 12'X20' tarp garage back there and it is not anchored or held down by anything. Back in October we had a wicked wind storm like I'd never seen. Winds up over 60mph, trees down all over town, I thought, that garage is gone...... It didn't move an inch! As an extra precaution so I don't have to look through the neighbourhood for the buildings I figure a tether cord to keep the building in the yard. If the roof blows off and disappears?.... That's ok, I got 5 bucks. I'll build another. |

That reminds me of a story from work a few years ago. I was working at a underground gold mine that uses a ramp for access. All man vehicles were Toyota landcrusiers all beefed up and built tough. A couple guys were heading down the ramp, speeding along of course when a 4ft pinch bar that was laying on the road was kicked up , came through the floor board, missed the drivers leg, popped the shifter out of gear and jammed into the centre of the seat! Our Toyota service truck was equipped with the same kind of bar as in the incident. First thing I thought when I heard about it. Check and see if ours is missing!!! Thankfully it was on the truck. Anyway, what a freak incident that could've been much worse. |

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Call this building complete! I corrected the warping base issue with some wood strips around the edge. Kinda glad it happened because it now gives the house a foundation and gets the plywood up off the ground once in the backyard.
New height also meant I needed to make some stairs. I tried making out of wood but wasn't liking the look. Kept turning out like a grade 5 art class creation. So once again I turned to my new found material for an answer and sure enough an idea came to me! Removed one section on this side...... 2 sections on opposite side..... Warm up the glue gun and end up with scale size steps! 11" deep with a 8" rise! Tested some of that textured paint in a can stuff and very pleased with the results! I got all kinds of new uses for it on future buildings! Actually does have texture and goes on nice and I hate painting Last post on buildings here. Going to start a thread under scale buildings I think. |

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Nope, 3 storey office building as a matter of fact.
Might only go with a 2 storey, I don't want to mess up line of site around the park. And at least a couple more houses. Gotta make things look good in time for August. I'm tempted to not post anypics or updates at all this summer so you guys can be shocked when you visit ....... Ya , right! just kidding. |

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Mario, that stuff on the steps looks like scale spray on bed liner!
Since your into buildings and structures any thought to making some "under construction" so guys with flats can haul in building materials. Excavators can dig foundations, dumps can bring in or haul away dirt etc. etc., sorry just thinking out loud |

Kent, no need for apologies and keep thinking out loud what a great idea! gives me a great, simple idea! I can make a building in panel sections , load on a trailer at the loading dock with my hobby engine crawler crane, haul to the build site where my tower crane can unload and assemble because I can use Finster's idea of using those small earth magnets to secure it. Love the idea, definitely going to roll with it for sure! Thanks bud I'm working on trying to get Reg into making some of those |
