| KaBOOM! |
Next, my 40 year old, no longer rollable, roll top desk moved down to my proto-workshop in the sun porch, sans a few of the drawers which will catch up as soon as I find somewhere for the contents.
Hopefully, tomorrow and Friday I will be able to empty, move, and refill all the book shelves in the room and outside on the landing (sighhh) and move the long drawer cabinet that used to, and will again, live under my table and by Friday night have everything back together and tidied, ready for a game. The table itself is going back to its 2014/15 location with one end against the East wall but only 4x6 this time.

Not only will there be more room and order around the table, and more room for storage underneath again, but there will be room for a daybed or similar under the windows at some future time.

alas the problem is never enough minis, rather enough storage and game space!
ReplyDeleteBalance in all things!
DeleteIn the process of tidying my gaming room as well, unearthing all sorts of forgotten figures and rules I'd forgotten I had , time for a purge !.
ReplyDeleteWargaming Archaeology!
DeleteThat's a wonderful picture of balloons and steamships. I have to agree with Murdock - space is the final frontier.
ReplyDeleteIts the mental clutter that is hardest to clear!
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteIn its current state, your room looks about as tidy as mine does! My sort out will take at least until the weekend, but the result should be worth it.
Like you, I am getting rid of stuff that I don't see that I am every going to get around to using, and this should free up space for the collections that I will use.
Good luck with your sort out; news of mine will be on my blog later today!
All the best,
Bob
The worst of the purging has been done in waves over the last 10 years but when I finally tackle the cupboard under the eaves there will be a bit more.
DeleteWhich local shop? I'd snap those up fast.
ReplyDeleteNew Boundaries in Windsor but it was small amounts and not worth the bother. I'd be happy to find a new home for the Naryatrians and Littal chaps though. Drop me note. rmacfa@gmail.com
DeleteWill do once I fire up computer before going to work.
DeleteThe 6x8 table must return! All the people ask for it! Greetings from the far south. Carlos
ReplyDeleteCarlos, where there is life, there is hope! Even in the North :)
Delete(I can't say the Far North because there is a sign nearby marking the halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole.)
And I grew up in Stewiacke!
DeleteScary. The trick with such a project is not to become discouraged and abandon it before the "2 steps forward" stage begins. Your Ka-BOOM picture looks like the potential end state of such a project if I undertook it. It's all about the medication, man.
ReplyDeleteYou are a man of fearsome resolve. Respect.
Its less about resolve and more a matter of being subject to sudden mad impulses which over come reason and lethargy for short periods....
DeleteVery nice recovery Ross and I hope that all is back to normal in the wargaming world very soon. I do like that river scene!
