Ok anyways, I was in home depot on a non-related matter and looked at wiring to hang the thing, which I believe is the direction I'm going to go, also saw some aluminum angles, C channel and square tubing, the stuff felt so damn light I decided to try to go that route. Not a welding route since I don't have a welder, but nut & bolt route, erector set style! Since I saw they also had stainless steel nuts, screws and washers where as the last time I asked at a homedepot they said all they carried was zinc coated stuff..
Keeping things simple, build a frame, hang lamps, be happy, no need to skin it... although if I want to, that is an option.
I am a bit pissed though each piece was $2 more than the price listed, when I confronted them about it their only explanation was "vendors bring in stuff and sometimes its more expensive"... yet they couldn't change the damn prices on the wall. Anyways, they missed a piece of square tubing at the check out, so it all evened out at the end. Although I'm getting that really pissed off feeling since a few of the stainless steel washers and nuts I bought were also mislabeled.
Anyways, I'm pretty damn bored today, but I want to make sure I measure everything a few times first to double check on how much I need to cut
