(...) I did my part, I ordered 30 light gray bricks and 5 each of the Dark gray and brown. I have tons of plate and limited funds or I would have bought some of those as well. If I can convince my wife of the need I will be adding another 25 of the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
