I'd like to share Ed's grumbling :) I also live in an apartment and my
Lego space is relegated to some shelves behind a door and a little
closet space. I think I've made the most of this space, though. I have
9 20" x 30" felt covered boards sitting on brackets in this niche
behind the door. I have had to implement certain zoning ordinances in
my town - restricting building to a certain height and modifying the
height of some sets - to fit all 9 in this space vertically. It is a
pain to get all the boards laid out - but I think it's a good solution
for limited space.
I have also thought about other storage methods - renting a garage at
someone's house (which people used to do, but I haven't seen it in a
while), buying a storage building (this is very expensive), or working
out some sort of ceiling that lowers to reveal my layout (subject to
more mechanical skills than I currently possess; also would have to meet
my wife's approval). What have other people done/thought of to use
their Lego collections in small spaces?
