<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Well,
it took a little extra wrangling,
but I’ve got at least one approach that sorta embraces this
wonky
behavior… Something I can’t control wants to rotate any
shape 90
degrees, and swapping the width/length results in a 90 ft
long strip won’t
fit on the sloped surface (causing the wizards to choke up
and gasp for air –
oh the horror!)… So what the heck - (3) 30ft strips spaced
30ft on
center seems to do the trick for each row:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

can’t get these to end
