Dave,
If your collection is 500K, then I'd better not even THINK about how
large mine is ;-)
Take your Iris cart collection, and multiply it by 3. That's all my new
bricks. If I can get all the rest of the bricks into Iris carts, add at
least what is shown in your pic, if not more (don't have room to buy 10
more Costco Iris carts right now, but hope to clear the room this weekend).
I figured my collection was over 500K, but not much, but maybe I'm off
"a bit". I suppose I'd better start trying to get a rough estimate for
insurance purposes before hauling mine crosscountry.
