After more work this weekend it doesn't seem as bad as I first thought, we'll see.<br /><br />I like your electrical box solution, very clever with the mounted backdrop!Chris Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17386071400545257080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868589199518435347.post-91872919123085519152016-03-26T20:27:27.810-04:002016-03-26T20:27:27.810-04:00Hi Chris ... is there any possibility you can move...Hi Chris ... is there any possibility you can move the layout away from the meter to give yourself a bit more working space ... maybe 3-5"? Are you planning on using photos you've taken for the backdrop or a commercial one? I can recommend a commercial backdrop that is no longer available but one I have which can legally be copied (if interested contact me offline). Speaking of obstacles, I have a soil pipe which is located in an inconvenient spot so I built National Lime and Stone around it and used it as a storage silo. I realize your gas meter problem is much more severe than that though and Jeff is correct about access. I also had issues with 2 electrical panels ... painted them sky blue and mounted a backdrop on them carefully cutting around the door so it could be opened. Where there's a will there's a way. With your capabilities the solution will be forthcoming ... of that I have no doubt!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181472044055341873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868589199518435347.post-71886204397201152032016-03-26T17:25:58.899-04:002016-03-26T17:25:58.899-04:00Good point, I'll leave the dial box open.

This area of Adena is a forested hill transitioning to a corn field/tiny farm before a river crossing at the end of the yard ladder. Unfortunately no buildings to camouflage the meter.Chris Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17386071400545257080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868589199518435347.post-81738477469782638482016-03-26T17:11:38.432-04:002016-03-26T17:11:38.432-04:00If you were modeling an urban area I'd say enc...If you were modeling an urban area I'd say encase it in a large building. Every couple years or so they're going to want to come in and read the dials though.Jeff Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113231952522584424noreply@blogger.com
