I walked past and along it, on my way out the door to the garage, and smiled, happy at knowing I had allowed myself such an indulgence and creative effort, through the years, since its 1995 inception with the first shipment of lumber.

Hey Frank,
You have created a masterpiece and I am sure some days you have to just stand back and say "look what I've done" and be proud. Kudos to you! I can't wait to get to that point on my layout. As you know the journey is very exciting. At this point when I just go in and look I feel sort of guilty and tell myself I should be doing something.

Good to hear from you, Dave. Thank you for the positive feedback!
As far as having any guilt is concerned, I never had the least bit of guilt or regret regarding the layout's investment of effort, funds, time , or commitment, though I might have lightened-up on the use of credit cards just a bit (!) Yet, it all turned out for the best, especially due to my wife's indulging and applauding me, which included her pride in sharing the layout - our layout - with others. Having OGR come take a peek too was very nice.
