@Mark Boyce and all - well we got out of Champaign and are now in Caledonia Michigan. The house right now seems 3 times smaller than what we had. (there was a 12 x 40 partially finished crawl space which could absorb all kinds of excess.) We are having a difficult time moving all of our treasures in. We got rid of a lot prior to the move and will have to get rid of more. What is more surprising is the volume of train stuff I accumulated over the last three years. 5 car passenger sets sure eat up the space. I'll have to rethink the location of the layout as I may need some of the planned layout space for storage. Probably a good exercise in getting rid of excess.
Good thing is the grandkids and son and his wife were a big help in the move and are here regularly. Which is why we moved up in the first place. Maybe a few more days till we can get back to a reasonably organized home.
