I worked out some stuff yesterday, trying different ideas and things. I
think we should go with the marketplace. It is faster to build and the
standards below do work for a "temporary type structure." After all the
original idea was something that can be built in a day and posted right away
if the builder has a digital camera (I don't so my posts will take a little
longer). I rebuilt four of my booths in the new standards and they look
good together. It is a fun challange to get the right details in a small
space and the result is a busy, crowded marketplace. I like it! Let's get
building and post stuff pronto!
