I live in a 2 room townhouse and my spare bedroom is my Lego Storage
Facility (LSF) and building room.
The table I am building on is 30" x 90". So I have plenty of room.

I am not an expert at modularizing myself. This project is going be a lot of
trial and error. I have no time table to complete it, except before I drop

I do not have a Brickshelf Gallery yet, or a digital camera, or a working
scanner, but I will be taking a lot of color pictures the old fashioned way,
and post them later. I am planning on purchasing a digital camera in August.
