My shoulder hurts, but at least my armpits are clean

I've been working on rewiring the layout... When I did the initial wiring, I used block wiring with a common wire. While that works well, my inevitable upgrade to DCC will be easier with both leads run back to the control panel.

So, dear reader, you're probably wondering what the subject's all about. Well, here's the thing: My terminal strip was installed behind the control panel, and I spent an hour or so under the layout moving wires around on it. The position I spent about half that time in was with my right hand raised above my head, and my nose facing my arm. Since I was also leaning on an under layout shelf, that started to make my shoulder hurt.

There's an important lesson to be learned in this, dear reader. When installing common wiring components, remember that eventually you'll have to work on them (that's the whole point of the terminal strip) and they should be mounted in such a way that working on them is easy on the body. If I had mounted my terminal strip on top of the control panel, and run the wires from underneath, I wouldn't be sitting here typing this post.
