More Sorting.. some info...

Well.. I go though this every year. I take time sorting out the bricks that I happen to need. I'm doing it early so I can get a rough idea of what I have. So what has been done so far is that the four main colors that I use.. (Red, Blue, Yellow and White) have been put into their own containers. In this case three of those said containers are 28lbs buckets. So far I'm about 80% finished with first part of the sorting. Once I get that finished up, I can begin to map the layout. Which I will do with in the next week or so.

The layout process will be a fun one. My work board that I use is only 48x26 inches. It is set up so I can fit though most doors. I've been using the workstation since a few years before the 2000/2001 season (LCP01) . However it's only been since LCP04 that I've made an active attempt to keep the project with in limits of that board. As in nothing hanging over the sides. Makes for an easier transport that way.

You will notice that from time to time, I will refer to projects in several different ways. Most times I will reference something as in LCP04, or even LCP03.. or even stranger just say the 05 project. Now unless you've been following my work for a long time, this doesn't make any clear sense.

Back when I was hosting my pictures on Brickshelf.. which is a mega site for posting Lego works online, I needed to develop a numbering system to help keep track of the various years. Since my display season runs from around Mid August to around Easter, I will often use the year that the project is torn down as the number of the project.

Thus, I've created a bit of a shorthand way if you will, of talking about my work. LCP04, means Lego Church Project 2003/2004. Officially for my own records, last season's project was called LCP08. So, when I start work on this next church, it will be Lego Church Project 2008/2009 or for me at least, LCP09.

Also, I wanted to let the readers know.. if you have a parish website that you think I might want to check out, or another Catholic site, leave a comment and let me know.

Till then.
