Happily to move it to a new place. We finally found a rental house in our neighborhood that suits our needs. I'll have a hobby room all to myself. However as it is anytime you move, there's always a ton of stuff to do before you can break out a project again. A lot of work ahead before the fun can begin.

I'll post some pics as soon as the workshop is set up. Likely no internet for a while, but I'm sure you guys will get along fine without lil 'ol me. Be cool.

Good luck with the move. A lot of work, but I'm sure you'll be a lot happier with more dedicated modeling space.

Good luck with the move Rob. I have moved several times in my life always saying " This is my last move". Hopefully the last one was indeed the last one. I am always surprised how much stuff you can pile up from one move to another. I always find stuff I forgot I had. Again, good luck with the move, I hope all goes smoothly.

That's good news Rob! You may be out of the hobby for a while,but I think when you do get back to building,you'll have a lot of new ideas to get you you started back up.

Good Luck on the move! I know the feeling, we bought our house last year, and now I have 2 hobby areas. Can't wait till I have enough money saved up, to start my dream Model Railroad layout.

Hey Rob!  I think we have both been playing musical houses for a couple of years now.  When we moved I almost fainted backing up the bench.  Couple of things I remember.  1. Kits both finished and unfinished take up A LOT of space.  2. If you put enough magazines and tiny paint jars in a box you can't lift it.  3. Moving the spray booth gets you and odd look from everyone helping.

Good luck my man!

Dave

I once saw a truck with the following message, boldly emblazoned on a sticker at it's rear= "Yes this is my truck. Yes it is paid for. No I will not help you move"

If I were still near enough Rob, I would have helped you move. But I lived in Bunnell Fla. for almost a decade of my life. Can't think of a thing I left behind to come back for...nope, not a thing. :lol:

Glad things went fairly smooth for you in the move. Now get ta buildin!
