My house is a bilevel, downstairs/upstairs. No basement.

Also I have nothing to do with this swap meet event. I quit as VCF 
executive director in December 2019. I wanted to stay involved after 
that as a regular hobbyist, but then in November 2020 a bunch of the 
local members decided my contributions over 15 years are irrelevant and 
I'm not welcome there anymore. That included a bunch of people who I 
thought were some of my best and most trust "friends". Brace himself 
dismissed me as someone who "did some good things" as if I was a random 
dude who helped out now and then. Nevermind that I built that museum 
from scratch, turned VCF East into a MASSIVE event, increased the 
group's finances from a single $20 bill in 2006 into an annual budget in 
the five-figure range, brought VCF West back from the grave, and taught 
him everything he knows. Other VCF board members and local officers have 
asked me to come back -- some of them practically begged me -- but I'm 
not going to, as long as that guy thinks he's in charge (he's not). He 
is largely responsible for the organization losing a decade's worth of 
connections, external organizational partnerships/relationships, and 
institutional memory.
