The waukesha sub may well be very young at this point. In fact less than a month old, however, its not hidden away in the basement its in a room on the main level of our home.

Just like the Zoom zone when working from home (keeping the area seen behind you when on webcam video). The layout area needs to be kept clean incase the door to the layout room is open.

There are many ways to finish the underside of your layout, some people add bookshelves, some clad in T&G and some make a layout skirt.

In the long term my layout will have a skirt mounted on shower curtain clips running on PVC pipe but this won’t be added just yet. A temporary solution is needed, so let us meet the very affordable roll of black cotton. Attached with push pins, the black fabric hides the materials stored for future phases of layout construction and keeps the layout room tidy.

Hopefully by the time you read this post, the nice postie has brought me more supplies so we progress with layout construction. So stay tuned.
