[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by mecovey</i> <br /><br />On my last layout I used black heavy plastic (actually silo covers) purchased from a farm supply store. They are cheap but much sturdier than the plastic garbage bags. I stapled the plastic directly to the ceiling joists. If you can get a couple of guys to help you keep the material stretched while you staple, the finished product not only protects the layout from falling dirt etc but is also inexpensive and easy to install. Lights and valence can then be mounted to the joists. The staples will show you where they are so the "hunt for wood " is minimized. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks, this idea is sounding better and better. And a Farm Supply Store is surely something in good supply round these parts!
