Center piece placed for lighting and track running. I lost the battle with my hot-glue gun with some wicked burns, but well worth it so far!! More progress to come if it keeps this cold

Yep my life IS THIS empty!! Laughing as I instigate my pit to bark at the Am Staff (—his twin..) while watching the AKC show. Laughing my ass off, and rather unbelievably, there were NO drugs involved. I’m just that much of a goof-ball!!!

One more week, and “this” may begin… WAY out of my depth on this one, will be an interesting learning curve.

New Projects:
1. Wrapping Pipes: Next week stay tuned for pictures…
2. Window Treatments: Illustrations below providing an even more involved undertaking.
Original intent was to do side and rear louvers, but due to number of factors, going in a different direction.

Here’s the wide shot including my G-Awful (—yet thankfully “socked”) feet for scale. The previous pictures showed the lighting of the trees, this is in relationship to full set up. Set pieces not in yet. Still a WIP, but getting there!!! 3 of 3 pictures.

Additional back / under-lighting of trees, in addition to refining scenic work. Added guard rails to increase illusion of depth / perspective. Pict 2 of 3 (—wide shot of full set-up next!!)
