Hello All,
Well, my backdrop arrived and I somehow found the courage to go ahead and install it, thanks to the great advise of forum members "laidoffsick" and Rich. I used the double sided carpet tape which allowed me to gentley place the backdrop over the tape and to back track if needed without any tearing. Once set I went over and firmly attached it to the tape. I set the sides and allowed the rest to drape down.
I love my backdrop. Much gratitude to all for the help!
Train on!

Like Wow • Congratulations, very well done.
That looks terrific. Very tall. I also would be interested in knowing the vendor. It is a vast improvement to your layout.
Good morning John Jr, your back drop looks fantastic.
In your first photo was that hard board that you put on the wall first and taped the seams or is it paper?
Again the back drop looks great!!!!
Happy New Year !!!

You really did a nice job with your new backdrop. Sure adds to it in many ways. 
Very nice job.
JohnJr,
That is awesome. Looks fantastic! Matt
Good Morning. That looks great. Who's the vender.
Doug
Tremendous addition to your layout; well done!
I'll join the chorus: who's the vendor?
Thank you all for the nice comments.
The vendor is Backdrop Warehouse @ backdrop warehouse.com. I placed Masonite over the area to be covered and taped the seams.
Down the line I plan to add three other backdrops and will certainly use this vendor. Their webpage can be confusing and overwhelming but they offer a great range of scenes.
Train on!

Thank you all for the nice comments.
The vendor is Backdrop Warehouse @ backdrop warehouse.com.
Beautiful backdrop. Good job on your installation. It's an accomplishment to get this vendor to sell a backdrop.
Many of us have unsuccessfully attempted to buy backdrops from him in the past. I found beautiful Skyline Drive images, but couldn't figure out the pricing or how to order. When I called, he made insulting comments about my not being smart enough to figure out his spectacular website. Then he hung up on me. His website appears unchanged from my last visit. I am also somewhat amazed that he is still in business.

Looks very nice. Back drops sure do make a difference. By posting pictures like this, you guys are gonna force me to do something with my bare un-painted concrete walls...
That looks fantastic WOW I love it…. where did you get it…..

JohnJr,

Spectacular - Really captures the majestic look of the mighty Rocky Mountains!
Spectacular. Reall fantastic looking. It looks so very real.
I love mountain backdrops, by the way. Mine aren't photos by printed painting, but I like them anyway.

Gilly: Boy, I do agree with you. Backdrop Warehouse was not easy to deal with. I found their webpage overwhelming and confusing. The two men I dealt with were rather "crusty" with me and it was a little like pulling teeth getting the info I wanted.
The main reason I pursued working with them is that the picture I chose was taken from the town my grandmother was born and raised and where she met my grandfather, who my son is named after (Leadville, Colorado).
I think they would do well to hire a friendly knowledgeable salesperson. That being said, their final product was excellent and I'm excited to have it!
Lee: your painting is exceptional, did you do that yourself? I which I had your level of artistic talent and imagination. Your posts are always fun to follow.
Happy, healthy New Year to all!

Very nice
