Pennsynut and Nessmuck, thank you for your comments.
Well yes patience out of necessity may have led to analysis paralysis too. Ha ha! I wanted to get started building mid year, but health problems for both my parents, hospital stays, care giving, and finally personal care home consumed a lot of time this year. That on top of helping my wife's mother and my aunt, then upkeep of Dad's house and grounds and this year has flown by.
So was the delay in starting construction good or bad. You saw I rethought the plan I "finalized " last spring, to another eliminating the need for access hatches on the right wall. Which plan is the best for me?
Nessmuck, This past weekend, I did some measuring of the workbench at my mother-in-law's that i am going to take apart and use for parts of my layout. I have decided to start with the section at the bottom of the plan that is basically the same on both plans. I plan to start right after Christmas with that. At that point, I will start a topic in the 3-rail section of the Forum since the planning will be done. Then it will be changes as I build.
Thank you for your patience, I know my patience is getting tried as well! LOL
