The new "Man Cave" build

In a previous post I did mention that the jigsaw of pieces for the new "Man Cave" had arrived. As we thought it did take 5 days to construct, though I have the lean to shed which goes on the end of the log cabin still to build.

The start of putting the walls together

All roofing boards installed

Almost finished so time for a mug of tea, toast and jam

Unfortunately while we are in full renovation mode on the house the new "Man Cave" is being used as a store for a lot of our furniture.

Current state of our kitchen

Current state of our Living Room

We're hoping these two rooms will be finished by Christmas... Well that is the time scale we've been discussing with builders, electricians, plumbers and kitchen installers. Not much to go wrong then...

Iain Rice

I've only just found out about the passing of one of the motivation figures of railway modelling. With many books and articles to his name there cannot be another person who has probably been read by almost all railway modellers. Although I did see Iain Rice at a few shows I never had the opportunity to meet him but do understand from people who did that he was a true gentleman.

A great loss to our hobby but is legacy in books and articles with continue to inspire and keep his memory alive for many years to come.

RIP Iain Rice
