Main Layout Room

(Backdrop)

The backdrop structure is being installed to form the skyline for Twin Peaks. This photo was taken looking east. See the Construction II Photos for how this backdrop will look (1995).

More backdrop structure is visible in this view, you are looking north. This is the backdrop between the Vista Windows and the layout room. The backdrop will be visible from both sides (1995).

Once again a view showing the backdrop structure being installed. This view is from the future Control Center. The Vista windows (2) are both visible but only for a little longer (1995).

More backdrop structure, the furring is 1" material and 3/4" plywood was used to form all curved bracing at the top and bottom. This is in the SW corner (1995).

The 1st piece of masonite has been installed from the inside of the Vista Windows. Note, the only bench work (1x6's) up at this point was for the support of the backdrop (1995).

The masonite is now going up in the main room. The seams were treated just like drywall, using fiberglass tape and drywall mud. Four thin coats were installed and tapered over 16" (1995).

The Vista Windows from the adjacent rec. room were installed and trimmed out prior to layout construction. I also installed the drop ceiling, lighting and electrical prior to stating benchwork (1994).

(The Beginning)

This post presented a challenge, it will be hidden in the wall that separates Lizard Pass from Twin Peaks. The area in the far corner will be used for hidden loops and the control center (1994).
