So I've been doing this for some time now... Not blogging, but building scenery... While I consider myself to be very good at what I do, I don't claim to be flawless, and I can always learn something... Where I tend to become more curmudgeonly is with projects that I can see the future of... Not like crystal ball future seeing, but because I've been down that road previously... Experience talking if you will... This is of course all pointing back to these bloody railings I'm trying to design and manufacture... We finally got the designer and producer down to our office yesterday... We sat and talked about the finishes and what speakers and microphones are needed and where they would go... That's all well and good, but then there is that bit about neither of them having a clue as to how to attach the railings to the posts... Well that's my realm anyway, but to achieve the look they desire, I'm delving in to the world of black magic... Unfortunately my subscription to "Voodoo Quarterly", and "Ignoring Physics" have expired... That leaves me with practical reality, and that's just not cutting it... I can come up with a system that is very safe, but looks a bit too ugly, or I can come up with elegant that not only costs an outrageous amount, but is too time intense and structurally suspect... Yes there are a couple other ideas in my head, but they're failing in other ways...
The main problem is that I can see the end of this road, and it involves the ugly ass railings they had last year... It involves me wasting an incalculable number of hours of work, and sleep solving the problems, only to get murdered on the budget...
Have I mentioned how much I hate railings?
