Chalenges

   Life is full of challenges.  Some are really taxing and and can be a great headache.
Others are simple.  We may even challenge ourselves to accomplish certain things.
Having people at work know that I am a model railroad collector over the years has
brought them to an almost 'Stump the Band ' kind of game.  They kept a cigar box
on the bench in the machine shop and whenever someone found an unusual part or
item  they would throw it in the box and expect me to make something out of it for the
train layout.  I have made rooftop air conditioning units out of single serving butter
containers from lunch,  Cattails from old wire pieces, you name it ..I've tried it.  My
latest challenge came from a fellow worker that tossed me a cardboard center out of
a roll of industrial toilet paper and said.. Here ya go Big Boy.. do your magic.  lol

I truly love these challanges...lol


Cut some strips of wood...

Add some planking...
Score some balsa.....

Glue them to said TP roll....

  add to base...

piece of Plexiglas for fake water...

A little creative painting...and we have  an aged water tank.
Now all I need to do is purchase some bikini clad swimmers to set it off...lol
