Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Well,,,, the lights look good, must be open late for the need of lights, and I know all of us heading up your way will be on our best behavior, like true gentlemen. So your S&M full service station will be a perfect place. All of us being there will be like a club meeting. So while we are playing at your full service gentlemans club named Marios S&M service center I'm sure we will all have a happy ending to our much anticipated summer trip!!! And will be looking forward to seeing the national critter "the beaver"

Lol!!!! Don't know how much else I could think of while keeping in the realms of RC toys at your summer meeting!!' :)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

The floor is pretty shiny. Almost mirror like... I think there should be at least one brass pole installed for hanging "stuff" off of near the center of the shop and perhaps a swing. Oh, and a DJ booth in the corner. Who else is going to introduce the "staff" as they enter the floor for their shift:confused:. It's a good thing he didn't call it "Mario's Lube and Oil" or we would have all got the wrong idea about the place....:rolleyes:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Well thanks for your politically correct and proper response RW....:confused: not sure what brought this on:lol: Probably a good thing because I think we are starting to scare people away with our " wild hogs " attitude. :rolleyes::lol:
It's going to be a great time with or without the appearance of foxes and beavers.:).
I think this might be considered the first RCTC club meet North of the border? ( sponsored by Scale builders RC club Ontario). :D
Really pumped about having you all here and promise to do my best to make it all worth the trip! :):bounce:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Haha, "wild hogs" I forgot about that one! When that movie came out the "theme" seemed so far away in my life... Now not so much!

OK, I'm done stirring the pot for today. What's the next building? Coffee shop? Corner store?

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I'll see if I can't get this train wreck some what back on track, here is one of my favorite shop signs, I was trying to make one small enough for you to hang on the wall but couldn't read it when I was done!

"YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM."

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

no foxes and beavers in canada, i'm staying home

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Funny you ask what's next Reg. my order of Esc's and servos came in so to break things up I'm going to tackle the Lamborghini cop car next.:)

I must apologize, in no way did I say we need to tone it down. I just wanted others to know, it's all bark and no bite as the wild hogs would do :D:lol:
If we can't be ourselves, there's no fun in that :)

Another great idea Kent! Brings one I like to mind..... Failing to plan is planning to fail...:rolleyes: sorry, I must have work on my mind.:lol:

I've got video proof of foxes and if we look hard enough, I'm sure I can find you a beaver somewhere :D. All depends on your standards :rolleyes:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Haha, that last line cracks me up Mario!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I'm at work this morning standing by a co workers tool box when I suddenly notice a small tool box calendar he had on the side.
The light in my head went off and I said, " DUDE! You gotta give me that calendar! ". :D

I'm done with the interior decorating now. :lol::lol:

I've lived in "mobile homes" my whole life but this brings new meaning to the term. "folding mobile home" lol

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Hey Mario good morning. On the conveyor build video 2, where did you get the 2 metal rollers. After just receiving a tread mill I started to build a conveyor.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Morning :). I got the rollers made for me by Reg ( RCP57 ) . It's a tube with end caps that have a set screw incorporated into them. I'm sure Reg could explain how he made them.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Well, the folding house is pretty much done. One more thing to add is interior lighting for that evening look. Besides the fact I made a major mistake when I layed out and cut the windows. I didn't realize I was working from the inside of the walls which made the outside complete opposite of the house I was trying to replicate! :mad: and the grey is too dark, the roof shouldn't be black.....otherwise, I'm real happy with the folding, quick simple assembly of it all and will probably look ok from 20ft away sitting in the backyard. :D

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Really nice buildings. Is the house you made from the same material that you used for the shop?

So earlier in the thread you mentioned you wanted to build a Tim Hortons coffee shop. Well you are going to need cups.
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssgdscyks.jpg

I can't take credit for the cups scan, just remembered it when I read you wanted to build a Tim Hortons. I found it on a 7/8ths (1:13.7) train forum; here's the link:

Who need a hotel room ???? We stay @ Marios folding house inn :bounce:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

casa de super is looks great mario!!! you putting a red light in
the side window??

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

He needs one of those little Hula dolls dancing in the front window!

Great job Mario. "Mario's Mobile Mini Mansions" is off to a great start!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Thanks for the link Brian. I saved it and will use for sure when the time comes to build a Timmys. :D
Yup, same material as the shop. Proper name for it is Coroplast. Sold by the 4x8 sheet and cost 20 bucks.
But you don't even know the rates :rolleyes: might be out of your price range. :lol:

Hmmm, im sure I can find a red led in my collection. I think I'll save that feature until August. :lol:

Thanks Reg. I love the hula doll idea. Maybe I should find one of those Santa Claus mechanical moving dolls, dress it up as a hula girl , flip the switch and listen to her say " ho, ho , ho " ....:lol::lol::lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Forgot to post this last night. Did another video of the building and lights for it. I'm seeing an issue with one part of the build. The plywood base is made of 1/4" fir plywood. Since I cut the piece out of sheet on Friday and painted the edge, it's warping like crazy and the peg holes aren't lining up as easily. Need to rework the base.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Looks good Mario, what are you going to do in a wind storm, you know the kind caused by them crazy 18 wheelers high balling down the road past the house? :lol::lol::lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

18 high and 60psi all the way

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Lol. I hear ya Kent :). I don't think wind will be an issue. I'm planning on some spikes through the floor and into the ground to keep in place but the yard is so sheltered by trees and bushes it's not very breezy there at all.
Here's what I mean, I've got that 12'X20' tarp garage back there and it is not anchored or held down by anything. Back in October we had a wicked wind storm like I'd never seen. Winds up over 60mph, trees down all over town, I thought, that garage is gone...... It didn't move an inch!
As an extra precaution so I don't have to look through the neighbourhood for the buildings I figure a tether cord to keep the building in the yard. If the roof blows off and disappears?.... That's ok, I got 5 bucks. I'll build another.:lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

here you can use this to anchor the house down.. brand new only went through one
super single tire

http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...psfo1wyhdx.jpg

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Bigger trucks bigger nails?! Wow

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

No patch is gonna fix that tire.:lol: super single, that can't be cheap:eek:

That reminds me of a story from work a few years ago. I was working at a underground gold mine that uses a ramp for access. All man vehicles were Toyota landcrusiers all beefed up and built tough.
A couple guys were heading down the ramp, speeding along of course when a 4ft pinch bar that was laying on the road was kicked up , came through the floor board, missed the drivers leg, popped the shifter out of gear and jammed into the centre of the seat! :eek:
Our Toyota service truck was equipped with the same kind of bar as in the incident. First thing I thought when I heard about it. Check and see if ours is missing!!! Thankfully it was on the truck. Anyway, what a freak incident that could've been much worse.:eek:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

lets just say a king hauler with mfu and a set if ihb rims LOL!!
glad i just drive it and don't have to pay for it!!!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Call this building complete! I corrected the warping base issue with some wood strips around the edge. Kinda glad it happened because it now gives the house a foundation and gets the plywood up off the ground once in the backyard.
New height also meant I needed to make some stairs. I tried making out of wood but wasn't liking the look. Kept turning out like a grade 5 art class creation.:lol:
So once again I turned to my new found material for an answer and sure enough an idea came to me!

Removed one section on this side......

2 sections on opposite side.....
