Up the Creek Column - 3
I didn’t want to give up the 6” wide stripe of real estate
that a stud wall would eat up. I had plans for that space!
It turned out that the modeled area on one side of the penin-
sula would be about 3” (or more) higher than the other. I figured
I could use that 3” to support a laminated backdrop. Or, if that
proved unworkable, I could build a micro-stud wall out of 1”x 1”
lumber attached to that 3” difference.
The backdrop has a number of curves followed by a 40’ straight
run [2]. I decided to attempt a backdrop made of two layers of sty-
rene or Masonite laminated together. I figured the curves should

sula. With some extra cleats, it should be good for back-
drop attachment. See also [6].
