Getting Real Column - 11
22: To complicate things even more, above the stag-
ing yard were all of my electrical and electronic utilities,
including two large panels, a telephone key system,
intercom, phone, and video. Above all that was the net-
working gear and more shelving with more...stuff!
Here I’m planning the relocation of the main line to stag-
ing from the extreme foreground right (held up by the
threaded rod) to the location designated by the curved
piece of plywood sub-roadbed in front of the panels. The
plan includes adding a curved backdrop that is remov-
able to screen out all of this chaos.
The first thing I did was to clear out the area above. I
removed the lowest shelf and consolidated as much
of the electronic gear as possible on the upper shelf.
I planned to screen this out later with a black curtain.
Next I relocated and condensed all of the communication
and video gear to the smallest area of the background.
23: That meant of course that I needed to alter both
sides of the bridge to staging. Here’s a view of the
original alignment. You can see how it crosses a laun-
dry sink and then goes into the long, curved staging
yard in the background.
