Proposed new method After going through the setup a few times with drawings of the layout, it became clear that simple was better.\u00a0 The original setup had so many features.\u00a0 This equated to so many parts.\u00a0 To redo the same setup seemed insane.\u00a0 I didn’t want to get locked into commiting tons of effort and time.\u00a0 The simple approach also had to be expandable.\u00a0 Another words, I would want the ability to add the features back without changing what I…<\/p>\n
