Mark, good to hear the update, especially the Pittsburgh neurologist news. It's amazing how well you are dealing with so many challenges, on so many fronts, at the same time. Hopefully, some family members will show up and help clean out the apartment. Sorry, I have been out of touch with you, hope you get done, what you need to get done, before the knee replacement.. A friend of mine from high school had one done earlier this year, he is finally moving around better and is glad he went in for the surgery. Will be praying for positive outcome for you, you really do deserve a couple of good breaks this year and next.
Bob, thanks for the heads up on the panel clearance. I know I am not leaving enough room... but at least I can walk up to the front of the panel and open the door without contorting myself. I will take some measurements today, I may be able to move that whole new 180 degree turn section like 6 to 12 inches to the left without sacrificing much... Don't have my plan for scenery at this end finalized, but it's mostly urban/industrial space, maybe one siding in an area that's 10 ft x 10 ft. so once I get the backdrop installed I'll evaluate whether I need to extend that far in front of the panel...
I am heading out to buy some 4 x 8 masonite and and another sheet of SandePly plywood, then start priming and painting it and putting my 30 degree hanging cleat blocks on the back and on the wall.
