Dealing with Getting Older and Less Flexible

Below is a rough drawing of dimensions to build a layout so you can work under it without crawling or other undesired positions unsuitable for older persons.  However as you can see, there are some limitations to this idea, but if I were starting over I would certainly follow this advice.  At 74 and a new knee limbs don't move or bend like they used to.
When I find the time to work on my web site, www.JaysOScaleLayout.info, I will be creating a page on that site about what I have learned and the mistakes I have made in building a layout.  I will offer a set of things that I would do if I were starting over.  One very simple thing is to supply 110 VAC every 8-10 feet along the edge of the layout.  Use conduct for a safer installation and provide a separate breaker for this.  I really get tired of extension cords up and down the aisles of they layout.  Or go cordless!  Our drills, saws, and one small soldering iron are now cordless.
