TEAR IT OUT!!!

[Lester Perry]

I'm not sure what sort of contortions you need to go through to get to the "inaccessible" part of the staging yard. I'm also not sure what your physical limitations are since your stroke, but I wonder if a mechanic's creeper would work for you. The one safety thing to remember is to wear safety goggles to keep stuff from falling into your eyes if you use one.

I have thought of that. If not for the carpet I would try it and sit on it but a creeper needs a smooth surface. I have a gardening seat on wheels that I use when I need to get to things under the layout such as wiring or switch machines. It is to high to get under under though.
