The onion moves along at the speed of a turtle. Deadlines are looming and we are about 2/3 of the way to having the first step complete! The latest glitch is the mirror spray. . .ah, the joys of living in a small town. (The back of each 3/4 inch tile is sprayed with mirroring spray, so when you come close to the onion you can see your reflection--hence "Sweet Reflections.") No one had it, so it had to be special ordered by a local paint store. We ramped through six cans we had in short order, necessitating the second special order. Floyd ordered more and the person went out of town, neglected to order and it takes six to seven days to get a special order. Hmmmm! Not happy campers.

But, leave it to "Mr. Good-in-a-Crisis." He found a "brilliant" silver spray that works just as well. We tried it out and we couldn't tell the difference and I think the mirror quality is better. So, Home Depot will sell out its supply of the new spray in the morning while we play catch up. Ron used up all the tiles today and was doing some fill in stuff, but we really are becalmed.

Floyd had one can of the new stuff, the experimental one, and he set to washing the glass and then spraying. Glass has to be really, really clean before spraying. You need several layers of spray for the stuff to really work and not just rub off. The pictures show Floyd standing on top of his head washing large sheets of glass and then outside he goes to do the spraying. It really smells terrible. Check out "Mr. Look-at-me-stand-on-my head."
