Well, it wasn't 40 visitors Saturday. It was 4, one of whom was my daughter. I'm thinking it has been 8 years since she's seen it, so it had to look very different to her (and that's with 6 years of no progress). It looks so different from just a year ago. She actually said she wants to help with the scenery.
Patrick was over on Monday and he finished screwing down the decking we put up last week. Then we put up another 8' of backdrop and another 8' of decking. Then he glued and screwed down all 32' of sound board. While he was doing those things, I was poking at the layout lighting.
Last night I got serious about the lighting, and got the first 4 lights up. Two at the front end of the string and two at the back. I made a temporary plug so I could fire them up. The first two look great. I'm going to head down and get the middle 4 wired up, pics to follow. Those LED bulbs are amazing. 9W for 60W equivalent, 5700K daylight, generate no real heat, and they're dimable. I'm putting them every 4'.
