Valence 2

An interesting thing happened on the way to completing the valence on the peninsula.

The end valence is the same height as all the others. This is what you see looking lengthwise through the peninsula with the end valence in place.

This is what you see looking at the peninsula from the side aisle. I expected that the standard height valence to cover the light bar all the way down the peninsula. It doesnt.

 The end of the peninsula is an open 4 foot by 5 foot area. This new viewing depth shows all the lightbulbs and wiring. Not quite what I expected to see. From the observer's position the entire light strand is visible and very very annoying visually.

This requires two additional valences:

1.  A 4 inch height valence added to the bottom of the end valence. This hides the 20 feet of light bar.
2. A 8 inch valence attached parallel to the center beam. the question then became: Do i paint the valence black or sky blue? 

More next week as I consider solutions to this dilemna.
