mongo...just a thought....before you start into building.....i know you want to ,what with the materials sitting ready to go....
i would do some planning first..just some basic floor plans to start....then take those once you get the general layout ideas done and put together some cardboadmodels of what you are thinking of....i know ,i know ,...time consuming....but it will enable you to visualize how your buildings will interact with each other and the surroundings.i've been to several fields with stuff just thrown up and everything is at odd angle and none of it seems coherent or ,more importantly ,realistic....oh and my offer for some building designing still stands.....:-)

Four city blocks is what we are after. The two center streets will be the business district, with houses outlying. We decided to have a gas station, a school, a court house, town square, etc We even want to find all the old furniture and such we can find and put in the houses. So, no, we are not going to just start freaking out, as much as I would like to. The opportuity to build something like this comes once in a lifetime, and we don't want to screw it up. If you would, pm me your concepts, I will use them. To get an idea of the amount of material we have, and what we could build, I based everything on a 12x12. Takes 18 sheets to cover with no roof. So I figured we could cover 54 buildings that size. Of course, when we combine the "Cubes" as I call them, we make larger buildings. With common walls it take the number to 12 sheets of material. We are going to work on props as much as the buildings, just to add to the field. So, from what I can figure, we can wall 7000 sq ft of area, not counting the areas that will come from alleys, between building, digging holes, etc. Yes, 6 we need your help, we need everyone's help.

Mongo, I said prayer for your friend and I hope he gets better soon. do you need me to go pick up wood on Fri? Thanks Squirrel, I am going to talk to him tonight. Yes, I should be out thursday and friday, if I can get a ride(still not driving) that is. Need wood, yes. I mean, I have wood, personally most of the time, but......oh construction materials, yes, any and all, just keep bringing it if you don't mind until I say stop. M

Mongo, I am eating fish. Now the computer screen is eating fish.
And the only day I have available to help is on Fridays, if I skip a class. Let me know if you need my help.

Hey all
Just got back from Daves
The Hilltop is now a walled bunker. It has three entrances, that are a 90 degree angle to get in, with an X structure in the middle, so you can cover the doors and not get shot from the other door.
More to come
Thanks for the material donations everyone, keep 'em coming
