  • While I was away my security camera revealed a Wild Bird Destroying my Layout. I don't know how he got in and I have not found any sign of his remains. If not for the camera I would not have known what happened to my layout. I have decided to take the layout down and look for a house with my apartment lease ending soon. I think this will be best and make things easier on me when the time comes to pack things up. I will be back as soon as I have found a new house and I sure hope it's sooner than later. As Always Thanks for Watching.!

    Oh brother. Yeah, we've had birds get in the house twice. Carolina wrens like to perch overnight under the backdoor awning so we have to be careful opening the door that we don't spook them into flying the wrong direction, that is inside the house! Both times we were able to shoo them back outside again. Wild critters CAN manage to get inside!
    Sorry to hear about your health issues Mark! You look like you're on the road to recovery so that's good.

    Hi Mark. I just saw your last video and I must say I'm a bit in shock. It's difficult when multiple things happen to you but you will rise above all of this. Just take one thing at a time. Now that you have your health under control start looking forward to your new home. That is a project that takes a lot of effort. Once you are settled in start planning on your new layout. Eventually you will have your new home and your new layout and you will feel a sense of relief. You are such a great guy and deserve the best. A lot of us out here have been following your channel for the past couple of years and having 2000 viewers makes a great statement about how people feel about you! I'm already looking forward to you being in your new house and seen your new layout that you will have ready to go. You not only two things to make your house the way you want it but also your new layout the way you really want that. Set type of track as well as the landscape and the trains that you've always wanted to run. Don't be discouraged because you have a lot of people out here that are saying prayers for you. One thing at a time mark. Health, new house, add a new layout with things that you will enjoy. Don't forget to show us your new home as well as your new train room! Hang in there mark this experience will make you stronger and you will be in a place of peace when it all comes together for you. Remember, body, mind, spirit, and prayer. I'm already looking forward to your next video! God bless you! 🙂👍💪✌️🙏♥️

      Thanks So Much.! 😊 I sure hope so and the Bird really threw me for a loop as well. I talked to my realtor today and he is going to keep an eye out for me. I should take me another 2 or 3 weeks to finish taking the layout down and that will really help when the time comes to move. By then I will know more about my eye and hopefully I will be ready to start looking for real. The house prices are a bit of a problem but here in Illinois with everyone leaving the state their are more houses to choose from. Thanks for you prayers and support it really means a lot to me. Thanks again Mark

    Oy! Hopefully, your health issues have gotten resolved. Other than the airplane, it looks like mostly superficial damage. The bird probably got in through a vent. You could probably make a short, horror video, with the bird flying around. A house, with a decent basement, is the best. You just can't beat a basement, for a good layout. They are usually dry and cool, unlike an attic. Everything that I have either goes on shelves or in totes, on the floor beneath the layout. Either way, keep up the great work. It will be nice to see the progress on the deconstruction and then the new build. An excellent video, as always.

    Sorry to hear that you have had additonal health issues. Hopefully, thing will be better going forward. I've had birds in my house as well. They have all come down my chimney and out thru the furnace vent. Always in the winter when the pass out after sitting at the top of the chimney for the warmth. I can always tell one has been in my house. I have a 36 year old cockatoo, that lives with me, and he is always agitated when one has been flying around the house when I am not there. He is caged when I am at work. I'm sure the new layout will be even better.
