Good Afternoon! We are enjoying our typical Easter holdays weather, i.e. lots of wind and ra*n. No signs of improvement in sight - yuck! My friend Lothar came over for a sip of coffee and a taste of Petra´s Easter holiday cake. We used the time to install the curved backdrop, which took only, say, 15 minutes, plus 5 minutes to find out why the trains wouldn´t pass througfh it and another 2 minutes to get the saw out and enlarge the opening a bit. It sure was one of those "Duh!" moments for me [:$] I don´t know yet whether I like the backdrop - yet. Due to the curvature, the upper ends are bending outward slightly, which looks terrible, even if it´s only 1/2" off the vertical on each side. Tomorrow, I´ll get some lumber to reinforce the edges, mount lugs and pull the upper ends inside fish a stretch of fishing line. When that´s done, I will post a picture here to collect your [Y] or [N] on the job! I am also pondering to go for a picture backdrop instead of the rather bland blue sky. Time will tell! Have a good one!
