[@robdawg6674]

Hope you and your neighbors are safe in these horrible Kentucky floods. Our thoughts are with everyone there.

[@shotslife]

Thank you, we are good to go but those poor people in eastern Ky…. Praying for them.

[@brandonyoung4595]

That’s the Garage Mahal!! :)

[@shotslife]

Lol, thanks I’m loving it!

[@tjjewell4115]

Chief, what a great idea to put the Train around the room, can't wait to see it, great Video.

[@shotslife]

Lol, always wanted to do that since I was a kid… still love trains!

[@robertengster5643]

You know as much as I love to do my own work..I sure don't mind watching you work...lol

[@shotslife]

Hahahahaha, well I appreciate that you watch for sure! Thank you!

[@garyolsen5790]

I know it's probably too late now, but, a couple of boxes for ceiling fans might be a good idea. Looks great.

[@shotslife]

Hey Gary, there are three ceiling fan boxes in the bay and I’ll put two in the office. Great minds…..

[@bobjoncas2814]

..an office or man cave.?..lol...good job, have a great week...

[@shotslife]

Hey Bob, yes and yes, it will be cool, one day! Have a great week my friend!

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Hope you and your family safe from the flooding

[@shotslife]

Thank you, we are good, but those poor people in eastern Ky! Man it’s bad there!

[@robertklasson5885]

Hey Kevin, I love your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work 👊👊💪

[@shotslife]

Thanks brother, loved see your house going up!

[@dennisd6527]

Looking good. The office is sounding more like a man cave. Like the idea of the train around the walls of the office. I have a small layout in my garage. The neon signs would look great.

[@shotslife]

That’s cool, what gauge do you run?

[@dennisd6527]

@@shotslife O gauge

[@johnrapp9794]

you should have rented scaffolding that you could use for all the high work your doing

[@florianreinhart6438]

I just love this garage can’t wait to see the office all in closed that’s gonna be a big office is there a bathroom out there too

[@shotslife]

Yes Sir it’s going to be nice! Yep, there is even a bathroom with a shower

[@Overpar73]

Are you going to put up a couple really large ceiling fans? Nice start on the office. I need to get me one of those little dirt movers, it's nice when you can do allot of the work yourself!

[@shotslife]

In the garage there will be three and in the office 1 or 2, haven’t decided yet. Yeah doing work ourselves always saves $$$! My building fund is on fumes now! 😂

[@Rhino2706]

Shots... Let us know how you are doing. Praying for y'all and KY from Texas..

[@shotslife]

We are high and dry, poor folks in eastern KY, it’s tragic!

[@hewitt52]

That's great you're starting the office. That'll be really cool to see. I'm really interested to see this train that will be running around. Sounds awesome! Have a great week!

[@shotslife]

The train should be fun, Hewitt Jr should like it!

[@Rick-461]

i really like the idea of the train going around the room...do you have the train already? I have the Polar Express train and love it

[@shotslife]

I have some old American Flyer Trains (S scale) and one for the Christmas Tree (G Scale but Santa Clause) I’ll probably buy a nice large G scale train for the office.

[@Richard-C]

as always great video, your office will look great when it's done,keep up the great work 👏👏👍👍👌

[@shotslife]

Thanks Richard! Have a great week!

[@Overpar73]

What 2 sizes of garage doors did you go with?

[@shotslife]

10x14.2 and 10x8.2

[@stretchambrose8433]

Heard about the flooding. How is that river behind you doing

[@shotslife]

We are good, the water came up but they controlled it very well… the poor people in Eastern Ky though, wow… what a disaster! I feel for them.

[@bullykuldo6233]

Your ceiling is it poly or metal?

[@shotslife]

Metal…

[@Leviathan609]

With all the train that I have put up, plexi around the shelf prevents a lot of cursing when a train takes the deep 6 (or in this case 8) off the wall. What gauge are you going with?

[@shotslife]

I’m going to go with G Scale, what Scale are you using?

[@Leviathan609]

@@shotslife I have quite a few, to be honest. For the main ones I've done, I've used H.O. scale, as 2 tracks fit nicely on a 6 inch shelf. I've also done Lionel O scale and 2 rail o scale, though I have layouts in N scale as well.

[@shotslife]

Wow your like me, all over the map, I have mostly S scale been handed down from my grand fathers. Then I found N scale sets on sale for $10 in 1989 at the mall (I bought 12 sets), then the boys Scouts auctioned an O scale and no one bid on it so I just bought it from them.. then I had some HO from when I was a kid (mostly junk now, I played rough)… then I bought “New Bright Christmas trains” which are G scale… but I plan to fin a nice LGB engine at some point. Maybe an RJ Corman engine as RJ lived near me before he died.

[@Leviathan609]

@@shotslife yeah, I hear you. Most of my Lionel is from my Grandfather. S Scale is a real treasure though, as so few people model it. That being said, the one thing I will recommend is if you want to run both, you can. I have hand laid track that can run both sizes of trains, and if you want, and when you get to that point of putting it up, let me know. Effectively you use the same rail height for both scales, and sky is the limit. If you wanted to run G, S, and HO, you might even be able to make that happen too, though with HO, you are going to have an easier time just laying a separate set of rails between the G scale ones.

[@Leviathan609]

@@shotslife one other thing, make sure you run some 12 or 14 gauge wire around the perimeter of your shelf for track feeders. It will reduce the voltage drop from where your transformer is to the farthest side of the tracks. It also helps prevent things like loose rail joints from becoming an issue.

[@ericfraser7543]

8:57 you probably want to or will have to install 5/8 drywall against that wall for a fire stop to your living space. Plus you want 5/8 for 24" OC studs especially if you install fiberglass bats which will cause regular 1/2 to sag. They also sell high strength 1/2 drywall designed for ceiling and walls 24 OC. Being on the river, I hope you did not get flooded out like the other folks in Kentucky this week.

[@shotslife]

Good though on the drywall… we are high and dry, the lower land is flooding but the house is way above the dam level thankfully. But those poor people in eastern Ky!

[@trentsmith7023]

Shepherdsville ky here! What part of ky are you in?

[@shotslife]

Central Ky by Lexington

[@mchaeltrizinsky7308]

Can you please clean that camera lens

[@shotslife]

Yeah, so it’s the protector over the lens and they just don’t last, one little hit and they scratch, now that I am in bright light they show like crazy… I just took them off, I’ll only use them when I fiberglass but you’ll have to live with it till I use up the footage… 😢
