Charlie b's layout

[ocalicreek]

biL - All I see is a great big red X...where did the picture go? If you don't mind sharing your misery I'd like to see it, thanks. After having moved 7 times in as many years, after having just gotten married (so there's her stuff and my stuff and all the wedding stuff, plus stuff from each of our parents place, childhood memorabilia and whatnot, etc.) we had quite a collection. It has taken a less-than-dedicated effort to chip away at our stuff...meanwhile, two kiddos come along and there's a whole new set of stuff! Thank goodness the second one was a boy and we could pass along the older one's things to the littler one! And while my wife is a 'crafty' person with boxes of scrapbooking things, fabric, etc., she is also the more organized of the two of us so her stuff is at least better organized and contained than mine. All that to say, do not despair! Organization will set you free! Sounds like you've got the right idea with the ledger book and keeping track of what's in each box.

Now, as for Charlie's 'stuff',

I also unpacked a few boxes to see what I have and what needs to be fixed after moving and handling for 14 years. I aquired a bunch of old buildings that will need to be repaired, but they are worth saving.

YES INDEED! By all means possible save the old stuff. As a consumate kitbasher, some of the older buildings that may not have been assembled with quality glue can be easily popped apart and reconfigured or used as kitbash fodder. I have a few gallon sized ziplock bags, each with a kit inside. Most came from train shows or yard sales where I found them cheap and brought them home, disassembled them, and packed them away flat until the day they meet the Xacto #5...

You have quite a collection there!
