Hopefully I'm putting this question in the right forum.
I'm in the process of building a new 7 X 21 foot layout. A friend of the family who's a carpenter helped cut and install the plywood and Homasote top pieces over the weekend. During the work session, I asked him if he could help install a vertical piece of plywood underneath the layout when I get to the wiring task. After I explained what would be installed on that piece of plywood, he outlined how he could make an under-layout drawer with a plywood bottom where those items could be installed. When I needed to do any wiring work, I could just pull the drawer out using a handle would install. Since I'm 66 years old, this sounded like a great idea, not just for the initial wiring task, but also for any future maintenance or additions. I'm thinking a second drawer under or next to this drawer would be great for the transformers, too, provided there's adequate airflow so they don't have an over-heating problem.
Does anyone have any experience with such an under-layout drawer for their TIUs, AIUs, terminal blocks, etc. or any thoughts on such an approach?
Thank you.
