New slant, new rants….

Why not drop in at WNY Natter ?

The two paintings we bought recently are multi-panel items.  This evening I hung the first of them, which had 4 panels.

Never again.

The theory is sound, and the end result looks good.  However, the other painting has 12 panels and I am not going through the rigmarole I went through this evening, for 4 panels, with 12 panels.  Life has more meaning than that.  So, I’m looking for a more ‘professional’ hanging method.

I’m looking at gallery type equipment, with wires (or clear plastic lines) hanging down from the ceiling with the panels being attached to movable hooks on the lines.  In theory that sort of kit should allow for infinite tweaks and adjustments to get everything aligned, then an ability to lock things down.  To do that with wall fixings would result in so many holes in the wall it would look like a honeycomb and probably collapse due to there being no wall left, just holes.

Any advice?  Have you hung a 12 panel painting?  All suggestions are welcome!

In the Buffalo area I have to say that the state of the roads is generally very good.  On an average basis, amongst the small sample of areas in the US I have driven around so far, it has the best roads.  Mostly.

Maple (from Transit westwards) is the forgotten road as far as repairs are concerned.  Quite simply it is the worst road for some distance around.  And it isn’t just bad in patches, it is consistently in bad repair.  In both directions.  Did the people and businesses along Maple not pay their taxes?  Is there some boundary dispute between authorities involved?  It is strange that one road should be singled out for neglect - or is this a feature of the US that I just haven’t discovered, that there’s one road in every area that is like this?  Very strange.
