Benchwork upgrades were the focus today.
1) plastic skid slides under the table legs to protect the floor and raise it a bit so the plastic drawers on wheels will fit underneath.
2) lowered cross braces to 60 scale feet above the floor.
3) installed shelves across braces
4) Did some major cleanup of the room

Also tried to create 1/2 track uncoupling track from salvaged tracks purchase last week
1) The jig saw worked great to cut the track
2) Had trouble with the solderless connector shorting out between the uncoupler terminal and the powered middle rail
3) Also had trouble with the insulating material on the middle rail
4) Exchanded wires for properly color coded types
5) Project completion put on hold... This is delaying yard cleanup.

Purchased another can of spray foam for scenery work.
