Well begun Frank. Off to conquer even more worlds (or should I say
themes?). I can't figure out what you moved or packed away to make room
for this layout?

I forget . . . is it under the computer desk where the Fabulous Fabuland
yellow trunk is archived? You know it's not really the right scale for
castle and pirates .
I wouldn't want anything to marr the perfection of your creations present or
future. ;-) Maybe it would be best for you to remove this possibly
contaminating element from the premises... Say about an hour and a half
away in a Western direction?

Ah . . . to have such delightful problems!

Will do gladly... (not contingent on the trunk ;-) . I am currently
approaching a deadline on a sewing related project. I anticipate completion
of it within a week give or take a day
or two. I could make short order of it after then.

Goodie! I like to see the evolution of a project. Much more interesting
than just the end product. Commentary is appreciated also.
