Yoram - your work is impressive!

I wanted to comment on how lucky you are to be working where you are. The problems of an identical project in this part of the world would be many. First of all, you would have to rent professional scaffolding, erected by the company, with a cash deposit of $2,000. Because it is near a school, the safety police would worried about things dropping, the whole base area would have to be fenced off within a few feet of the scaffolding. As an extra precaution, they might require the project to be wrapped - this is heavy plastic sheet which is heated with torches to form a "shrink wrap" over the whole job (another sub-contract). I understand that in California, any job over $500 requires licensing and "trade papers" for whatever work you are doing (this might not apply to fresco art?).

You, on the other hand, got to interact and respond to the public while you were working. Again, you are a lucky.
