And Lo it lives I like what you are managing to do with the tiny and slightly akward space Jim. Keep it up and keep us posted. How many do you think will fit in for you first open day It would be like the scene on the footplate in the Gt St Trinians train robbery

Great start Jim. I thought the space I had was limited?? In contrast to you, I've got the African Savannah!!

 

[jublybug]

Yeah it could be tight dave we had 4 and my little girl sat on the decking the other night and it was cosey to say the least,

Small up date .

Took a day off work today to go with the wife for our final hospital visit before the c section on monday ( my birthday that il share with my new daughter ) and when we got back a brake in the weather apeard so i got out the drill and fixed a shelf and it supriseingly sturdy :rolf

In the last pic you can see the brakets from the local builders yard and theres two 90 degree angles off the board to the decking end

Eventually id like this bit to be double track but for now its single

Jimbo
