Hi Bob,
I most certainly do not envy all the effort with moving house, but there is nothing like being close to the ones you love.
Congratulations mate and good luck with the task at hand :zen

Best of all good things to you and your bride as you "get out of town".:Hiay
(it was voluntary -wasn't it? :frantic ) :yipee
Keep your eyes locked on the end result, that way the total chaos going on around your feet will not bother you at all :S

Thanks Guys. I always try to answer everybody personally when I can, but, the move to Springfield begins tomorrow and I'm trying to keep on schedule. They will be loading for 3 days and then friday, Susan and I and our pups will head south to our new home, We, along with Wes Bradley, my long time buddy and member of MA, have been packing boxes daily now for 5 weeks and there is still more to go. I have thrown out so much stuff we haven't used in years, We have also given so much away to friends. We had a full professional gym with a dozen machines and tons of weights, barbells, dumbbells and olympic bars, etc. We like working out in a public gym, so we saw no reason to keep all that. They are bringing a special truck out wednesday just for the museum.
Whew!!!!!!! This has been a major operation! I kept thinking, "Why was this so much more difficult than when we moved here. 1), we moved in three phases over a 2 year period, and 2) I was 15 years younger. A mere 59. Big difference!!
When we get there, We're gonna take a long rest! I'm to old for this stuff! :yipee

Wow, I'm so far behind. I never remember getting the word about this. Congrats on the move and on the impending 50 year anniversary. The rest can wait so have a good safe move and enjoy the ride south.

Hi Guys, We are moved in, just got the Internet connected today. Besides my bob@bobletterman.com email address, We have another one now.
letterman502@att,net
After everything was loaded on the trucks, 3 - 26 foot moving vans and 1 semi=tractor trailer van, the weight totaled 42,000 pounds or 21 tons. The house is a disaster, the museum is downstairs and they were afraid they wouldn't get it all in, but they did. Only trouble is they left no room to work around. I am having a truck and some men come and move about 10 dioramas to a storage center so we can start working around and get it all straightened up. It will be a long process, at least two months. You kinda have to see it to believe it.
We lave lived in St. Louis for 50 years and used to the big city attitudes there. We were shocked at the difference here, people are so overly nice, at first we were suspicious, asking each other, "What are they after". Turns out it is just plain old fashioned friendliness and it's contagious. I think we are really going to like it here!
Anyway, I'm back on line after a 2 week off time!

Welcome back Bob, you have been missed. It's great to have you back. Feel free to shoot some pics of the chaos so we can all take part vicariously through you.
In my case, I had the opposite experience. I grew up in a small town where everyone was friendly and it almost had a family-type feel. Moving to the Big City of LA was a shock in more ways than one. Enjoy the country!

Well, we have been here a month. We finally have the main floor operational and livable. However, the basement is another story. It will have a media room and that is almost finished, but we haven't really even started on the museum. That will begin Monday, the 8th.
It was so full, I couldn't work around it, so, I hired Two Men and a Truck to come out and take 10 dioramas to a storage unit. It made it possible to work down there. I have started on my modeling room, which, at the previous house, I had two, one downstairs and one in the museum. We have done a lot of downsizing during this move and my new workshop is not only a single one but smaller than either of the previous two. I'll get used to it. I am thinking now that it all should be finished by the end of March. That may sound like a lot of time, but you have to see it to understand. The finished basement is quite large but has very little lighting which is an absolute in a museum or you can't see details. I have already contracted an electrician to do all the wiring necessary.
As it comes to life, I'll take photos and post the progress. I am missing being on MA daily, but, I must get this done in order to get back to the bench, and, I am missing the bench a lot!!
I'll keep checking in from time to time until I have some images to post!
