Well, My wife and I have decided that we need a hobby to do together and I've managed to talk her into model RRing (something I've been wanting to get into for several years now). Eventually, we would like to make good use of space in our small house by lining the walls with track, etc. However, to start with, we are just going to use our utility room (no garage to sacrifice, unfortunately). Our primary objectives for this first layout mostly revolve around learning and making mistakes, but due to the location of things, I'm sure we'll have to be creative with the layout. What I'm getting at here, is that if anyone has any suggestions for the following, which is unfortunately generating at least the footprint of the benchwork, we are definately open to them! [img]http://hildebrandfamily.org/Trains/pics/RoomAndTable.jpg[/img] (1 foot to the square) Requirements given to me to even be allowed to use this room: 1) We must be able to get out of the back door (the one by the furnace). 2) We must be able to get into the pantry/storage area (the doors open 90 degrees, perpendicular to either face). 3) We need enough room to be able to stand in front of the dryer and remove clothing (door space noted by the dotted line in front of the dryer). 4) Space under the benchwork needs to be usable as storage. 5) The cat's litterbox, food bowl, and water bowl must be easily accessable both to him and to us. There are two windows (46" off the ground) on the wall above where the footprint for the basework is sitting, but they are covered all the time and of no concern whether they are blocked (or unaccessable). I am not opposed to other arrangements for the benchwork, I just figured I'd put some thought and effort into it prior to asking for some input :) Thanks in advance! Gosherm
