It took just a week, and Hai got 'er done yesterday, completing the artwork for his sweetie's nail salon No. 2. I'm heading back to Minnesota Wednesday after a fun, productive visit using tools and ladders. Won't be as green there, I'm told.
Meanwhile, an exotic fireplace and a water feature (earth, water, fire) goes in and before long the salon will open again for business, a one-of-a-kind in a crowded industry.
The earphones? They represent his other job, still troubleshooting the newspapers in Minnesota.
