Day 95- Framing the back wall

Perhaps not as exciting as finishing the elevator platform but very important nevertheless. The 'back wall' of the map room is the wall opposite the entry door. Basically we want a fairly solid frame base on which the 'stone' and panels can be securely mounted. Last year we had a couple of walls break down and we don't want that to happen again! I used mostly 2x2's with a 2x4 in the corners and center. We will then cover this with black sheeting first to eliminate light leaks and then add the panels etc. The main detail we don't want to forget when we assemble this is we have to make sure we leave enough space for the crush wall movement in front of whatever details we add to the back frame. You can see in the second image split view showing right and left sides where we leave what should be enough space.
