Reply to "New Train Room Finally Getting A Layout! (Last Update: 07/02/2022)"

John,  Just an idea, but it helped(s) when having to lift/move a box.  At some point, take time (when you move it) have a bathroom scale nearby and  get a weight (at the least, close) of each box, write the weight on outside of each box.  That way, you have an idea before lifting each one, and that comes in very handy later.  I did this when we moved from Lake of The Ozarks in Missouri to the OKC area, in Tuttle.  As much as the individual boxes get moved/relocated before being opened, it is nice to know.  My boxes (too many) were moved in two U Haul box trucks and after being unloaded into the garage (half of a two car), they were relocated to the attic, by myself, while I had to work on sites out-of-state for the next eight years.  Now, when taking one down from attic and then upstairs to the train room wife had built over new 3 car garage, cannot over state the weight being known is a good thing.  Another good thing I did at the time of packing was to include the date items were packed, more information that is nice to have later.  Don't ever misplace the spreadsheet, I did on mine.  But, as I relocated boxes from attic, I have gone through them, took out items as needed, inventoried the rest and put copy of listing in box (copy off of printer) for later when looking in box, knowing what is in there at a glance.  Don't live in a condo, so doing all the property workings and business myself robs me of time, and layout progress, but it is slowly getting done.  Congrats on the new digs and beautiful area for your new layout.  As others, cannot wait to see your progress and steps getting there.
