a lot of construction hours going into the dumpster
sorry
but, it does raise a question about the initial build
do people consider how to initially construct the layout such that it is easier to take down (move or sell)
i have seen some beautiful layouts for sale and when you dig down, you realize that they cannot be moved without a tremendous amount of work in the take down and rebuild (that 100 hours you spent on the construction is not worth much on a resale)
i am part of a modular group, and will try to build my new layout using some of those ideas so that it is easier to handle when the inevitable happens
your thread reminded me of that principle
