Covering the helix was partially done a year ago, but a good amount was still exposed, and that exposed area was the first thing visitors saw when entering the room.

| Not a pretty site! |
This past week, David James -- readers of this blog are well aware of what he means to the P&LE -- stopped by on his way home to Brecksville, Ohio, from a meeting in Kansas City, and completion of the coverup was started. The first phase is the addition of 3/4" plywood on the end, and then the stacking of the pink insulation foam comes next.

Next steps are to cover the pink foam with Sculptamold, paint, ground cover (dirt, various shades of green, course and fine turf), and trees ... lots and lots of trees. The dirt will come from a woods close by, the turf is a Woodland Scenics product, and the trees are Scenic Express SuperTrees. I'm off to a "dollar" store to purchase bowls, sheet trays, spatula, etc., since I've been warned about pirating such items from the kitchen. Check back in a couple of weeks; the goal is to be complete by then.
