Now, what to do with the waste?

First: Nice job going on there...

For the waste, look in your phone book for local Model Railroad clubs; we use this stuff for the structure under the scenery; it's light and can be carved. a Club is the quickest way to get a response. You might even get a couple bucks for it, also.

Hey, thanks, Steamguy! I might just do this very thing. One of my hobbies is two-channel audio so I'll reserve a small bag for shipping gear, too.

Gotta' love the trains. When I get out and going with the Hilton, I'm going to put a train ride on my short list. I've see some fantastic vintage train rides (at least the videos) from around the country.

2 channel audio! I am an old vintage audio guy myself. Every night I work on my old camper my old Sansui integrated is blasting out the beats through my even older DCM Time Windows.

My garage system. Yes I still spin vinyl, check out the Micro Seiki on top I found at Goodwill for $5

Oh man, we've got to hook up sometime. I have a Sansui integrated sitting on the repair shelf, ATM, an AU-719. The youngin's missed the great years of stereo when Sansui, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc. were bringing some great gear to the market. Your gear looks very nice, the Micro Seiki is very well regarded. I plan to install a NAD reveiver and a couple of sets of speakers. If you look through the pictures, you'll see the excess wiring for some of that.

I fell in with a bunch of high-end audiophile type chaps and we all build our own stuff, nowadays. We have yearly/biennial get-togethers in the summer. You're definitely on the invite list, if you wish. The host has 5 acres of backwoods space so parking an RV is no problem. A few guys stay for the whole weekend, listening to epic stereo setups, eating massive amounts of the world's best food, and passing around different brews. I's a great time and a great bunch of audio nerds.

Got a late start today but finished up the vapor barrier and installed an AC line for the black water heating. I also brought the rear marker, tail, and brake light wiring down through the floor in the same location. Not some of my neatest work but I needed to bring those down forward of the bottom bend of the exterior. I'll get a chase over those in the future and it won't be any worry because the location will be under the bath towel closet.

My assistant, the T-50 electric staple gun, really a nice tool, drives staples flush so no need to go back and slam them down:
