Today the garage welcomed it's third visitor: Pinwig followed Martin & Karl in there. He left having been tempted by many robots in the Unicron Trilogy boxes.
We expect people from church to help us move the Epics on Sunday.

It's already looking pretty impressive in there but once all the units are up it'll be a real Aladdin's cave.

Will you have to rub a lamp to make Phil appear?

Better than rubbing Phil to make a lamp appear.

Phil is not a Jinn... Thus is not subject to being bound by the methods used to bind the Jinn to the lamp...

Tomorrow is move the books day. In particular the Epics. Yeah. 297 Marvel Universe Epics, 21 Modern Marvel Universe Epics, 1 Modern SW Epic and the second Aliens Epic. 16 SW Epics and the first Alien Epic are already in the garage.
Church Homegroup coming in to do the move job but the library shelves have been stripped bare of anything but books and the Omnibuses, well all bar the MU, have been crated up.
Head is struggling... Even more so because there's so little I can physically do.

Good work!
I thought you were moving the Essentials on. Does The Garage have enough room for them after all? If so: great!

I'm intending to move them on but we're emptying the library so some are now in a temporary resting place    Yeah, I know there's some reordering needed. Ran out of go today |

Agenda is this I think * finish properly ordering the Epics
* get the rest of the Essentials down there
* unpack the boxes down there to see what's what, how much room that takes up, and what can go We also fixed a slightly dodgy shelving unit today so I can now unpack everything. Absolutely cabbaged tonight |

the books in the wrong order is bugging me. Even more so now I've spotted the error in the A-F section which speaks volumes for how tired I was

Indeed - getting them in-situ at all was an impressive job. Small adjustments to exact locations should not minimise how good a job has been done there.

Thank you.
I'll try to get a full length of the garage picture later as that view has drastically changed now

This feels like a very very long garage.

its an amazing garage. The Garage Of Joy! What a collection! Plus, I've lived in smaller places. I do have to comment that on one of the pictures above there is a cassette tape and what appears to be a magnet sitting next to each other on the shelf. I hope that cassette tape didn't have anything important on, because it may not be there now.

Oh yeah, Phil, in the most recent pics it looks like there is space between the top of the wall and the corregated roof. I have a shed like this, and a surprising amount of rain gets in. I think you've got cardboard boxes in a splash zone. I don't know if you've considered this and I'm preaching to the choir, but I would hate it if you got a nasty shock after a rain storm. I suspect that it depends on the wind direction and here in Cymru the rain goes in all directions!

This feels like a very very long garage. I've said it before, it's not a garage, it's a TARDIS. |

Oh yeah, Phil, in the most recent pics it looks like there is space between the top of the wall and the corregated roof. I know. It's sealed with a semi transparent foam like material, I'm assuming our builder put it in when he redid the garage. I let the garage stand empty for a good time while the Swindon weather was at it's apocalyptic worst and nothing got in! |

We also fixed a slightly dodgy shelving unit today so I can now unpack everything. First item off the list. 2 is going to need Liz. If we get time tmw, we'll unpack the Omnibuses |

Most of the Essentials in. We ran out of time to pack 2/3 of the Spidey shelf but that's it. I'll reorder by keep/go when everything is down there.
Spectacular, Web, MTU, MTIO & Dazzler are the major keeps as I don't have the material elsewhere.
FF & Avengers are fully Epic'd, ASM is nearly there, X-Men I almost all have in other formats.
Defenders 50/50
Omnibuses on shelf.
Boxes started to be unpacked. I'm looking at what's coming out the London boxes and thinking much will need to go
