On August 21, 2015 I bought a basement - with a house above it for the new location of the WWSL. The move from the previous location with quickly - a matter of hours in fact, as the railroad was in storage.
Now wiser heads will tell you that its best that your railroad room be empty during deconstruction and construction - and I knew it - but anticipation got the best of me and things started quickly.
The original basement (25' by 30') was divided into 4 sections and two sections were partially paneled. That paneling was backed with a 1x2 stud wall - adequate for cedar paneling but not a railroad.
I quickly tore out the walls and the paneling found a new home somewhere else.
Half the ceiling was finished with drywall and mineral fiber based ceiling tiles. As expected, the ceiling tile was disintegrating, stained or missing. The drywall and ceiling tiles were torn out and disposed.
Not shown is a partially tiled floor - that too was demolished for future replacement by indoor/outdoor carpeting.
