shedman Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Welcome back Andy. Glad you're settling in after the trauma of moving. It's good to see a picture of Seven Mills Sidings again, RMweb has been very quiet without you and I've missed my morning catch up. Looking forward to watching your progress now. All the very best to you both. Keep safe. Trevor 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Morning all, a quick pic before my morning walk and then some brekkie. It's a busy day in the POD again today with my Step Son and Son in Law both in attendance. Back later. Edited June 19, 2020 by Andrew P 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prizes, I'd just like to hear your thoughts, obviously O Gaugers will probably vote for an O Gauge Layout, Steam buffs will favour some Steam inspired ones, and Modern Image guys and Gals will go for the likes of New Mills etc. So please give me YOUR feedback, it may lead to the inspiration for another project.

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted June 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2020 In terms of inspiration, I always thought the dmu depot at Reading was crying out for a minimum space garage O set up. Bubble car heaven. Welcome back! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gz3xzf Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hi Andy Good to see you back, I can sympathise with the mowing issue, but at least the weather at the moment is not conducive to mowing! Hope your garage conversion goes well. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnaby Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yes Andy I gained a little more leisure time by using the gardening skills of the partner of one of my wife's ex-work colleagues. Mainly for de-weeding, lawn cutting, hedge trimming and flower bed tidy ups. It has given us much more fun time to deal with the containers etc. They have all the kit for the many gardening jobs that are required and of course I also get to work in my hobby cabin plenty more. Looking down the garden from the hobby cabin back towards the house Best 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 So a couple of earlier pics of the Garage to POD conversion. The inner brickwork for the door was cut out and the disk cutter was used for a clean cut on the outside. Guess who had to do the labouring and move the rubble out to the Biffo Bags, 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted June 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 Finally the door arrived, but it turned out to be the Southern Hemisphere Model. More catching up later. 13 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted June 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yesterday and today we / Mike and John have finished the Plaster boarding and now the joint masking tape has been done as well. The ceiling joint above the old up and over door will be covered as the ceiling has a slight bow in it. 23 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew P Posted June 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 Quote And so finally this brings us up to today, the LED sockets have been fitted and wired, along with 2 of the 4, 4ft LED Strip lights. The Florescent still has to come down. 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hi Andy, this is all looking really good. How do you find the LED lights? I am thinking of having these. Cheers, Ade. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far looking very good, these are not as bright as Jeff's or Big Johns but these are the Daylight ones, so a more natural lighting feel, Ade. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
