It's storytime with Uncle Adrian :) I love my basement. I don't know if I
have any more room down there than when I was spread out in 3 rooms on the
first floor, but everything is much better organized, plus this system is
designed to expand (thus the mostly empty third shelf) so I won't have to
redo everything again in a couple of years. I had reached the extent of my
sorting system in the old space about 6 months ago *heh*

Drywalling was by far the most difficult part of this process. I suppose if
I'd used an Orbital sander or something I would've gotten much better
results with the wall smoothness, but otherwise I'm satisfied. There's
going to be so much clutter down there that I don't think anyone will notice
the shoddy drywall work :)

It is better. Like I said, it's much more logically organized, and I can
reach almost all the pieces that I really need (the bricks, plates, and
primary greeblies) without standing up. It's just things like wings,
motors, canopies, and wheels that I have to stand up to reach.

I'll be building a moonbase module or 3 starting this weekend, most likely.
I've had ideas bouncing around in my brain for the last 2 months of this
project, when I haven't been able to take on anything huge because it was
all in flux. Now that I'm at least down there (although I'm still not
organized) I can at least build again. WHOO!!
