Congrats Alex! I'm am really happy to see you getting started, and I can't wait to see your new creation. Given your previous layout, I'm sure it will be impressive. That's about the space I have for mine, but I'll bet your will outshine me significantly, you are a true artist when it comes to that stuff! Mine will be 20' x 12' 6" at the widest point.
I'll probably have basic benchwork up first, but I suspect you'll roar right by me in making a great looking layout.
