Preparation
It's
nice to have a new house. But it also
means a lot more work. I find it's far
easier in the long run to build a second
wall inside the first. Where one has
concrete or block walls as is the case here,
this gives you a place for wires and a place
for attachment purposes. Standard
construction practices are used throughout.
The ceiling is suspended for easy access -
not that I expect any problems, but to be on
the safe side. Nothing is worse than
having to destroy a drywall ceiling over a
train layout. The floor is laminate.
Part of the purpose of doing all this is to
allow for easy deconstruction when it's time
to move on. Remove the layout, patch
and paint, and the basement is now grade A
living space.
