More work on the scenic dividers

 Well, last Monday was a work night and we continued with the building of the scenic divider. Paul and I put up framing to hang the sheet rock on as we come down along the yard.
 Using a level to check vertical plumb and level of the top of the wall, we screwed the studs to the side of the band board of the yard deck. We got 16 feet up in the allotted time.
 Here is how it looks from the other end. You can see it is on a broad curve. Soon this view of the yard will be no more! This is actually the easy part.
 Meanwhile Ed and Rich are going to put a piece of sheet rock over that styrene that I put up before. It was too hard to work and did not want to give up the curl that it had from storage. We need to carry the sheet rock one more stud so I can go on from there with the new sheet rock over the Masonite.
 Ed has made a template of the scenery form on the left end so they could cut the piece to conform to that. It came out very well so it will be easy to integrate it into the scenery.  They have the sheet up and are starting to screw it in place. They decided they needed some adhesive on the seam end so they are preparing to  put some in place.
Rich has pulled the end of the sheet out and will put in the adhesive, then screw it down. The hard part is going to be putting up the sheet rock on our hands and knees. More later.
