There are still some tricky waters ahead, including hiding the cabling to the projectors, but the eau d'admin appear to be calm and provide smooth ... http://blogs.ci-fi.net/wightman/2011/10/17/the-mice-will-play/ The screen went in "just the very best" last week and except for navigating down the ladders at 1:30am Friday morning it was a piece of cake - right Art? This week we'll need to work a bit to discover exactly where we want to put the pipe for the projector ... http://blogs.ci-fi.net/wightman/2011/10/11/on-with-the-show/ After several years of consistent convincing of the need for screens and projectors in the Sanctuary, Fearless Leader has gotten us to the stage where the first screen install (1 of 2) is on the schedule for this week!
