Building the Mirror Blaze in Pictures XIII: Integration Weekend Part III:: Rain Strikes!

Photos, Things We've Built

Last time, we saw our intrepid crew (constructing and) playing with mirrors. Today, this continues, as pictures of people and mirrors are fun.

First, a test of the mirrors (warning: not for the easily spun nauseous):

Then, more panel attachment!:

Then, just before we attached the last couple of mirrors, rain struck! Luckily, we had planned for this, and beyond making sure our gear was in our tent and power tools were covered, Mirror Blaze was fine (or so we thought).

It looked kinda cool with the water droplets:

Immediately post-downpour, the droplets make a pretty pattern on the mirrors.

These mirrors were fine, even though they were marinating in water for hours. In the midground, you can see Francis all bundled up, and Fate back at work on Hellblazer.

Sadly, not all was fun and games, as we noticed that our two-way mirrors (the most expensive ones, of course) were susceptible to water damage, it seemed particularly around the holes that we had drilled in them:

That’s it for today! Next time, we start playing with mirrors and fire!
