Hello All,
RR_Mel, got your PM!
Thank you for your kind words.
For some reason I can read the PMs, but not respond. (I cannot even log off the forums.)
The reference is not Leadville, CO, it is Alma, CO, which is located across the Mosquito Range from Leadville.
The name for my freelance pike is derived from the confluence of The Middle Fork of the South Platte river and Buckskin Creek, here in town.
If you want to continue the conversation PM me an email address and I will respond.
Back to the subject at hand...
I too got to doodling- -on paper- -the combinations of the L configuration.
My additional question is: How will these areas be connected?
•In an L-shape- -Then the question is which dimension? In your diagram you put the 84" and the 54" edges together (as we ass-u-me-ed). On one of my iterations I put the 102" and the 48" together.
This results in the same square footage area but a very different configuration.
•Just to throw the proverbial "spanner in the works" the OP could also (given the floor space) put the long edges together either butting one edge flush or...Centering both.
•With centering both on their longitudinal sides a triangle could be cut from the longer section and fitted into the gap of the smaller section thus creating a trapezoid. This would still not address the reach issue.
•A third configuration would be a "T" rather than an "L". Again, depending on which edges you mate could result in a vastly different configuration with the same area.
Not hearing from the OP makes me wonder if he has ghosted.
Hope this helps.
