Lots of work over the last six days (in between rainstorms).<\/p>\n

\"\"First task was to decide how to END this thing!\u00a0 Up until this week I had the far end of the sea floor marked with a couple of vertical-straight-edge tiles (photo), but that just would not look good when we decide what to do with the ugly cinderblock wall to the right.<\/p>\n

So I did some Photoshop mockups of what things might look like and decided on a design.\u00a0 This photo shows that, and where the project stands now, at the end of today:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new right-hand end is a good 10 inches farther than it used to be.\u00a0 I’ve defined it with the same gold glass pool tiles used to separate the ocean floor from the water; from the top it curves down (covering a really ugly square concrete post) and then straight down to the base.\u00a0 You can see a tiny bit of the cinder block wall; it continues about another 10 feet to the right.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of color mixing going on here, from yellow to brown to a beige that is almost white.\u00a0 Also a lot of large shells are joining the starfish!<\/p>\n

As you can see, there’s just a couple of square feet to cover.\u00a0 It has gone pretty fast, EXCEPT around the starfish; you can see a lot of small tiles in there that I had to use to make things fit.\u00a0 (Lots of chipping and grinding involved in all that.)\u00a0 The photo looks very mushy in the center; that’s the cement that I just did today; it has not yet been cleaned off.<\/p>\n

So here she is:<\/p>\n
