Skywalk Specs

Today is my birthday. I'm 54...physically. I'm probably more like 74 metabolically.

We spent the day earning large monies by painting skywalks. It wasn't in the plans to do this but the skywalks pay so well and come up sporadically so we have to jump on them when we can. So we did!

You can kind of see our work there in the picture above. It doesn't help that the windows are tinted. It also doesn't help that the little street urchins who abide the downtown area like to scratch their proof of existence into the paint. We have to make the lettering small enough to fit high up on the windows...out of scratching range.

So now we have another couple of months of remodeling under our financial belt.

That's always cool!

I need to get some specifications down in writing for these skywalks. I run into the same problems every year because I don't have this information to refer to. So here it is.

The large skywalks on Main have 14 windows per side. Each pain of glass is 68" x 118"

The skywalk on Post Street in front of RPS has 11 windows per side and the measure 65" x 118".

It took us almost four hours to finish cutting our stencils for the first skywalk we painted. When we finally got to painting, it took us an hour.

We did the two skywalks today in about five and a half hours.
