 Train Day!

6-7:30pm

Rob Fair stopped by today and we installed some fancy street lights on Lake Street.

Rob Fair drilling the holes for the street lights.

One street light already put in place.

Now all three are in place.
I bought three, but need to purchase 5 more.

Then Rob changed gears and started work on the city viaduct which will go directly over Lake Street.

Rob Fair cutting out notches for the vertical supports to rest securely.

His accomplishment for the evening.
Nice work, Rob!
