Chip Do you not remember being at my house and seeing the layout built completly out of furring strips. Dry wall screws and all so well. Made cross braces on standard 16" spacing and have had no problem with warp or sags. Uprights are also made from the furring and then plywood underlaymant and cork on top of that. Then you can level it all as you are layiing the plywood. Using many C clamps to hold uprights and using level to make it right. Elevations become simpler as the wood only bends so much at a time. Easier transitions for gradiing. Layout been in use for 20+ years. Can stand on it as it has plenty of strength. Need to come out again sometime to really look at the framing. B.
