Big_Boy_4005 posted:Bruce - Thanks, but I can't claim credit for the landscape fabric idea. I don't remember where I saw it, but I liked it right away when I did. It might have even been here on the forum. I will take credit for how we executed it. The rail we installed was my idea. It was the best way I could think of to follow the edge of the layout. Then we just stapled the fabric on. Technically, I'm not really at that stage of completion to have done this. There's still a good deal of messy scenery work to do. I just have to use drop cloths to keep it nice. The very last thing is the carpet. Maybe next year for that.

On a similar note using a similar material, I have been employing house wrap to form a base for scenery on my open grid construction. Stapled in place, it's impervious to holes or tears unless cut with a knife. Whether original or not, the idea just suits the purpose, especially when considering how economical it is for larger applications.
Until there is further progress with roughing in electrical, scenery and fascia, skirting will need to wait. Till then, there's no hiding my hoarding problem. But at least there now is a feasible, economic solution permanently filed away in the old grey matter. Thanks!
