    I also like your no-cost no-spill liquid glue holder -- VERY clever! I need to remember that.

    Sadly the Brewers didn't make it again. I'm not a big fan, but I'd like to see them get in once.

    That's a trick I learned from a model ship builder named, Ziggy

    I bored a hole in a block of wood that is stuck to the corner of my work area. I also drilled two holes for paint brushes that I use to apply the cement. I destroyed a few projects that I was working on before I went to this extreme.

    I want to show you what I have so far. Still more to do on these walls before I start the rear wall. I need to order more stuff for the rear wall.

    I'm glad to hear you are doing better and the project moving along nicely.
    I'm a used to be Brewers fan. When I got out of the Army in '72 it was a two blocks walk to see the stadium across the valley. Then moved to West Allis and started going to the games, as well as the Packers when they played there. Seeing them live is a whole lot better than on the tv.

    Since Tenax has been discontinued, I have found these two products at least equal if not the same as Tenax. Either should work well with your projects.

    So the rear wall assembly will have to wait. Parts on order. Well I thought I'd work on the front wall. That is, the inside of the front wall. We all know
    that plastic walls look awful on the inside. Of course, no one is going to see the inside so who cares. I care. The inside of my front wall will be seen. So I used the same window and door pieces on the inside of the front wall. Now it looks so much more real ! So this is what I did last night.
