A Blank Canvas

Next we had to build a backing for the EL-wire. We chose to mount the wire directly on to the backing rather than having it raised because where it was going to be mounted it could get bumped a lot.


Materials:
- 1 piece of 1/4 inch plywood 24 x 48 inches
- 2 8 foot 1x2
- nails or staples

First we cut a 1x2 into 2 48 inch lengths. We notched the ends of each of these pieces( M says he will tell me what these notches are for later).

Then we mounted these boards onto the plywood. We then cut two pieces of 1x2 to fit between the previous 2 pieces and mounted them.

We then painted the boards Yellow. M says that you would normally paint it black, but we wanted it the same same color as the cabin, so it wouldn't be as noticeable during the day.
