Apart from the corners (ie, JeffE, JeffVW and myself) the rest is relatively rearrangable to fit however many (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

Well, I think I better scale myself down and go for 3 modules instead of 6. I'll try to fit our stuff into the 3 remaining modules in the lower right of the layout. If I had money and time to spare, I'd go ahead with my grandiose mountain layout, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well, I cut all my 1x2's to the correct length, sanded them all down and the plywood too, and then went to put them together. Doh! Who would have guessed that a 1x2 was not really a 1x2? It's actually only 0.75x1.5!?!? This might not come as a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Yeah, I'd love to chat about construction techniques, etc. I can just imagine how many bricks you're going through right now. That was a pretty impressive layout you outlined on Brickshelf.

(...) 1x2's are not 1" x 2", yes, and Iain would probably chime in with how stupid Imperial measurements are if he wasn't on vacation right now.

Jeff, if you have something ready, that's OK. I just didn't know that it had been taken. I can redesign our modules to go around a curve and back to the outside again or something.
