And here is what I did today...

A small piece of corrugated metal but it makes a big difference and will be even better when the shopping carts are re-located.

The top of the pieces of metal are a bit ragged but I am making a piece of wood trim to cover them - install that later this week. Plumbing the electrical outlet went rather well if I say so myself...

Here are the carts back where they were - the tan surface to the right of the new metal is some cardboard to prevent the carts from marking up our nice new slotwall.

A view from the new retail section out toward the front doors - we sell a lot of greeting cards and novelties

A couple of hours work and it came out looking really nice. We are moving the coffee service and the home for the shopping carts sometime next week.
