You can't even tell there was a model railroad in here just a few months ago.
It's been a crazy week of moving the last few items out of the house and into the apartment (if you've ever wondered how much stuff you can cram into a small apartment, the answer is a lot more than you might think!). Wednesday morning we closed escrow on the house, turned over the keys and were feeling pretty good about things.
That is until our realtor sent us a note thanking and congratulating us, adding "just think, you're half way through the move!"
Ugh, that's right - we still have to move out of the apartment and into the new house. I suspect that will be less of a hassle - we've learned in the last six weeks that we're too old and set in our ways for apartment building life.
In the meantime, I'll stop the moving and new house updates on here since they're not really model railroad related.
I will, if anyone is interested, write about the layout design process.
Blog Notes:
After considering what to do with this blog I've decided to keep it pretty much as is for now.
I spent some time the last couple of evenings adding a "Manassas Layout" label to any post that was specific to the old layout. I also deleted any truly outdated posts (things like "I'm having an open house this weekend ..." etc. ) To see every post on the layout I was building, and rebuilding, from 2009 until now, click on the "Manassas Layout" label at the bottom on this post.
Wow - the bare nakedness of that space is pretty jarring! But you did a fantastic job of restoring it to non-railroad use/look. I suspect there was a fair amount of patching & painting involved. Extra kudos for how nice the carpet looks. I know a little bit of what you're going through - it's certainly not fun, but it does have the consolation of the promise of a new space and layout. Hang in there - and very much looking forward to future updates!
