Quote:When I was a kid, I used to clean my room by first cleaning a pathway from one end to the other. It felt like I was making faster progress that way. I did the same when I was asked to mow the lawn - I'd mow a stripe straight down the center to make it seem like I was halfway done. Unintentionally, I did the same with my layout. The other day I noticed I now have continuous groundcover and scenery across one of the short ends. If I keep myself from being lazy, it won't be long before I have continuous scenery along one of the long ends.
It's good to see progress and that stripe of lawn gives you that instant gratification in the middle of everything. Remember John Allen actually scenicked sections of the G&D before track was even laid - you're in good company! I'm itchin' to get some scenery work done at Pinto but I really need to get the lighting installed, and then get my backdrop installed, taped, spackled, sanded, primed, and painted. Some things just have to be done first...
I've also heard that desert scenery goes faster than Eastern forests or NW pines & firs. True?
