Default Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!

Great minds think alike Andy! .
I had the same idea with a digital scale. I got the display out, extended wires so I could mount on a pole. Everything was fine until I tested the trucks on it. Most bathroom scales are rated up to 300lbs. And the trucks and trailer are not heavy enough to trigger the scale to register a weight.

So plan B is I found a digital food scale on Ebay which can handle up to 50lbs. I'm hoping its sensitive enough to trigger when I drive onto it. We will see

I added a few more details to the Cat Fuel station. Came up with a easy way to make what looks like gas nozzles and hose? Some paperclips , 16 gauge wire and shrink tubing. Simple and looks decent I think.
One more thing I might do. I've been staring at the Cat box I have on top of the roof. I think it needs to be turning! I've got a small motor out of a rotating beacon I can use to power it up.....next rainy day project.
