Day 6
Today I finished up painting much of the WWI exhibit. It was a little better since this was mostly touch up work and everything I did made the exhibit look a little better, although I couldn't avoid those damn roller streaks. I got a tray of "Museum White" paint and touched up all the spackle around the room and it looks much better.
Trevor has this great idea for the exhibit and I did the preliminary stuff for him so he can finish it another time. He ordered different colored beads from Oriental Trading Co. and each color represents a country that fought in WWI. In addition, each bead represents 220 soldiers who were killed. He had me pour all the beads from a nation into a long clear plastic tube and measure, so he can cut them to size later on and place them in the exhibit for comparison. A few of them such as the Russians, Germans, and I think the French needed two tubes. For many of them there were over 4000 beads. The civilians alone had 40,000 beads.
