Starting Over

I have two 2' x 4' modules with a 2' x 2' lift out section in between them. I've run into a brick wall and I'm thinking of starting over. I'm not happy with the way things have turned out and I'd like to try and do it better. I'm not very far along so it wouldn't take too much time to dismantle. Has anyone else ever gone through this? Do most guys just keep going no matter what? Is there a point when you say to yourself: this isn't working, time to start over. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Start Over --

That's What we Do -- Lucky you found out early enough but -- as you do your layout you'll probably do and then re- do  (hopefully only some) cause - its just "improvement" with practice .

IMHO -- 10 make list of what you didn't like about your present   2) spend time thinking about what you want or should have done 3) put on paper / try to sketch it out (if scenery- or you want a nice scene) - 4) spend a little more time look at what others have done - this website full of info

If you don't like what you did - it will always be in back of your mind -- it's a hobby -- do what you want. If you don;t like it you'll spend less and less time doing it until it gets cobwebs

 

 

You have two 2' x 4' modules

What about replacing one of those modules?  Build it completely new, incorporating more of what you want, avoiding what you don't -- and, when you're satisfied with the new construction, remove the old and slide in the new!  That may be an advantage of a modular setup -- but your situation may vary.

Late Thank You

It's been several months since I asked this question and after reading several comments I thought it was done. I just now was reading through this blog again and saw some additional comments and I want to say thank you for your added comments. I apologize for being so discourteous.
