My attic was invaded by wasps a couple of months ago. They ended up building a nest and taking over. Today the guy came and took away the nest. The wasps are gone, and hopefully won't be back.
So, here's what I have for a plan forthcoming: I have the wood to build the extensions, and since this wasp thing took so much of my quality springtime away, I'm going to get started on that right away. I'll have to wait until the end of the month, but that's when it's going to happen. In the meantime, I'll take down my track and go over track plans with the extensions on. I have extra track ready to add, but I'm not sure how much extra track. I think I'll be able to cover one wing, but I'm going to go ahead and build them both. I can always get more track.
My birthday is coming, and my wife is throwing a small party. It's mostly with friends that are also parents, but with babies, so there will be no kids running around. I want to set up the track outside in the grass and make a nice, big course. I'm going to try and put it somewhat in the corner so there's still room to do other stuff. It's a surprise to my wife, who probably thinks I'm going to bring people up to the racing room. It'll be in pieces.
I'm going to take the 2" wings off and rebuild them with the new 4" extensions, then attach them to the side of the main table. I'll get more stability all the way around.
But that's not for a week or two. Until then, I'd like to lube and tune my cars, dust my track and run a few last races on this layout for all the marbles. I'll post extensive coverage here as usual.
