Summer months (June, July, and August) are spent up in Michigan, (grandkids). So I will probably do something to cover the layout, or maybe install window shades that I can close, haven't decided yet.

Bob is on to something with the need for some shade - even though I expect the space will be air-conditioned.
Also - how many power outlets will you need(says he who always needs as many as possible!) and is the space already wired for such?

Now there is a space with real potential. I can't wait for you to start filling it up :)

As far as power outlets are concerned, there's one there right now and I am adding three more. Do you think four are enough?

Well, I guess I could always plug in a power strip, that would give me six more plugs :P
I can eliminate the outlet for the phone, I've got more remote phones in here than I have people. :shock:

I'm also slightly wary of using more than a couple of transformers with built-in plugs on the same strip on account of the heat they generate next to each other.

Update On My Layout:
Not good at all. Due to my family issues at this time I had to place the whole project on hold. Plus, the last conversation I had with the builder did not go well at all. The permit people now want to do an inspection on the house to see if the heating / cooling system can support the added interior space. :evil: Also they now say that our Master bedroom which is adjacent to the layout room, no longer has an emergency exit, and they want me to remove one of the master bedroom windows and enlarge it to meet code. :evil:
I guess there's nothing I can't solve by throwing money at it, but …..

I thought our planning laws were strict, but this all seems to be a nightmare for you, how frustrating. Still, looking on the bright side once the work is done you will know it is all correct and there wil be no danger of having to do more building work after the railway construction begins.
best of luck

I'll get through it, albeit much slower than originally planned. What with the holidays coming up and Lord knows when I will return home, it is very difficult to predict when I can actually begin working on the layout. I will hazard a guess:
Nov:
Dec:
Jan: :)
Feb: :D

The "Permit People" have now taken my $6,200 project and moved it up to just over $11,000, because of "Codes". :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: They say I need a larger window for a fire escape from our Master bedroom. The current windows measure 4.32 Sq. Ft. opening and they want 5 Sq Ft. Next they say my heating and cooling system needs to be upgraded for the larger volume in the house.
Now they want my original blue prints of the house, which I don't have, and would have to pay for, to continue on with the project. Enough was enough! I cried Uncle and told them to cancel the whole project. The price just outweighed the value. Two flat fifteen foot walls with all windows for $11,000, I don't think so! :roll: :roll: :roll:
So ……. now what? Well it's back to the drawing boards. I will have to rethink everything. I'm not giving up and throwing in the towel, just taking a step backwards and get more training.
I think I will give a computer program a really good test.
