The walls a some bench work are up. A point to point with return loops design has been selected, it has a branch that is connect with a hinged up table, that is in an aisle we do not use very often.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02969144246900735122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622047938401309680.post-13471547575637640162013-03-24T12:12:12.241-04:002013-03-24T12:12:12.241-04:00George,
Sorry to hear about the ongoing issues a...George, <br /><br />Sorry to hear about the ongoing issues and the need to tear out (even if only temporarily) a large chunk of your layout to make the wall repairs. <br /><br />I agree completely with the idea of eliminating duckunders whenever possible. <br /><br />Not sure if you're asking for design advice, and I'd be the last person I'd ask if I were you - but a sketch of the entire potential "land grant" and some idea of the sizes of the layout sections you might have to move would help offer more concrete advice. <br /><br />I know you were planning on an extension to include a new larger staging yard - any chance you could reconfigure the layout - or even the space itself. While you're tearing up walls to do repairs, maybe building/moving/ etc,,, one more wall wouldn't be a big deal and may lead to a better overall arrangement (no duckunder etc....)<br /><br />Just a few thoughts - best of luck. <br /><br />MartyCVSNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875631602890773160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622047938401309680.post-76456596962752704952013-03-24T09:54:14.251-04:002013-03-24T09:54:14.251-04:00Hi George:

I am, on my layout, but it's a personal preference.<br />One thing is universal, however: the duck-under is not going to be any more fun as you get older...<br />Let us know what you decide.<br />(I wouldn't wish a leak on anybody, but problems like this DO give us an opportunity to rethink and redo, to make things better. We can do that at any time of course, but few of us will tear out a portion of a layout without an external factor like this forcing our hand...)Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860331796911162859noreply@blogger.com
