I finally took over a corner of the basement. I bought two of the 3' x 6'
folding tables to work on. Most of the time it's sufficient. (At least it
would be if I re-sorted the parts when I take models apart rather than
pulling out the ones I need and discarding the rest into a big Pile-O-Lego)
Do you sort your Collection?

No luck with the mail. It sounds like they will arrive while I'm on

That one took over my kitchen table for a week. I think that's when the move
to the basement came about. If you think putting the shuttle together was
hard, try taking it apart!
