 well hi everybody we're back so it's now five o'clock my daughter's not here yet but we're gonna go ahead and start without her and my son's running the camera and we have I don't know Joe if you could pan a little bit over here we have completely taken out what was this turn over here this was the rice hill loop and it's completely gone so let me see if I can show you guys all the construction debris and stuff down here so what was around these two posts was the rice hill loop yes and it's completely on we're down to here now and so we're gonna take out this section all along the wall here this is Oakland and then we also have a raised floor here for the mushroom we're gonna start taking some of that out too yes we are walking on a raised floor that I would say is about 14 inches off of the main floor that's 15 inches you good guess 15 there it is see so right there yeah so we get many questions hey guys this is Daniel from what's neat Union Pacific railfan for life hi Daniel hey Daniel good to have you and then tawn is here she says she's here apocalyptic gorgeous I'm here yes my daughter does a does a lot of this and so she's an old hand at this she has make up stuff that she does on live videos all the time and so she's old hand so she was like then you should do a live video so here we are and yeah so I need to be taking screws out here and then there's a woman that says he's a huge fan let me see if I can pull the comments back up so I can look at what he said so let me also for anybody who's new I'm dismantling this layout that's been here for 28 years the reason why I'm dismantling it to do you to do the elevator task the top version the reason why I'm dismantling it is because I'm moving there's a lot more to it than that it's not that simple but that's the short version the longer version is you can't sell a house with a layout in it and this layout being 28 years old enough has changed in the hobby it's like we're going to do a switch-o change-o here so I can talk and you can undo a dismantle so there's been enough of the change in the hobby in 28 years but I want to do it again only a lot better and I mentioned my run like a dream series which basically encapsulates the 28 years of learning and so this layout although it's a decent layout it's not a great layout says evening everyone good evening and so I'm going to do run like a dream standards on the new layout and it's also going to be a sexual or modular layout using what we call the one module approach Toma which is what we call it in more of a hobbyist magazine and so I will start I will tear this layout out finish the room so I could sell the house we're not going to move right away because we're waiting for my 90 year old mom to finally pass on and that could be next week could be 10 years from now so I don't know exactly when I'm going to move that's the other wrinkle so once this is completely torn out and I refinish this basement then we'll be all set to be able to sell the house list the house and sell it whenever we want in the meantime I start my Toma version of the cisco line down here since it's sexual or modular then I can build as much of it as I want and then when we move which I just take it with me so that's the beauty of Toma oh my gosh I forgot you had a fireplace in that area yeah this used to be a big family this is like a family room it was like a family game room total floor space in the house it's 3400 square feet it's two floors so 1700 square feet per floor and so I took roughly half of the basement so that's 810 square feet the space and with the mushroom design which is a do double deck layout but one deck faces the opposite direction I don't know if you can see it if you kind of look over here yeah can you look over here yeah this is the upper deck and it's got a raised floor if you look down here at all with construction degree there's a raised floor here so this deck is actually the second deck there's actually another deck down here faces the other way and this is the backdrop but what the mushroom does with the raised floor is both decks are at the similar relative height from the floor and that's the main reason main thing I don't like about double deck layouts is neither both decks are kind of a compromise one decks to low the other decks too high okay so you want your comments yes comments or questions okay so this is neat this is Union Pacific Railfan for life is this is near a shame that I don't get that kill yourself over there sorry construction John G. Sackett says woohoo nice stuff and another person Butterbean hold on okay Butterbean says I'll take the leftovers LOL he says evening from Northeast Georgia y'all wow speaking of leftovers let's talk about leftovers there is a really nice scene at Ten Mile Creek on my lower deck and in fact I did a whole video series called the Ten Mile Creek series and anyway I am thinking I'm going to take and cut that trestle out of that scene and a little bit of the scenery okay we'll go go look at it take that scene I'm gonna put her on eBay and whoever wants it can have it and he's gonna sign it yeah I'll autograph it to autograph it this right here so I'll probably take like from here to here and a little bit of the scenery around it sell that and so you can get a little piece of the system get back over where you were sorry we just connected there for a second guys yeah that's sort of that's sort of the dead corner of the house yep that's even a bad corner upstairs and we were downstairs so people corner just came out in one piece oh wow that thing weighs about 200 look like on the other side plaster on the other side actually looks pretty neat fact I think some of the track is still intact yeah we see
