These doors were the entry way to the underground catacomb areas. We went
down into these areas. Our tourguide was quick to make us go down first. heehee.
St. Michan’s is situated on Church Street behind Dublin’s Four Courts and near the old city fruit and vegetable markets. St. Michan’s Church is the oldest parish church on the north side of the River Liffey. Originally founded in 1095, the present church dates from 1685 and was renovated in 1825. Internally, the church retains its original galleried interior and organ.
Underneath St. Michan’s church are five long burial vaults accessed through stout iron doors in the graveyard. The exact date of construction is unknown though in their present form they may well date from the rebuilding of the church in 1685. The constant dry atmosphere has caused the mummification of the bodies and the preservation of the coffins. Since Victorian time visitors have descended the vault steps to see the mummies. Bram Stoker, creator of the Dracula stories is believed to have visited the vaults in the company of his family. The early visitors to the vaults were responsible for many of the myths and legends surrounding the bodies, though modern scientific investigations have cast doubts on many of these stories.
The vaults contain the remains of many of Dublin’s most influential 17th, 18th and 19th century families, including the legendary Sheares brothers and highly decorated coffins of the Earl’s of Leitrim.

Thanks!
This was the lone survivor of several attempts at the Space Mountain Re-entry tunnel. Speed of the cars, dim lighting and the quickness of the effect all make it a tougher shot than I expected. I think I just got lucky :-)
These gold covers were UV printed onto white luminescent cloth and then mounted to screen board. The gold was matched to a PMS colour while the wine glass pattern was printed using clear ink embossing. The logo in the centre was solvent printed on vinyl, laminated and then cut using Print/Cut registration. It was then debossed using a die cut on the Roland engraver.
Driving from Reykjavik, you go north and then after a tunnel and a bridge and very interesting landscape, you turn left and enter the Westfjords.

Rabbi Gerschwitz leaves Greatland Port Street synagogue, which itself was modelled on Great Portland Street's synagogue. (Get it?)
This installation used Kerlite 40” X 40” 3.5mm wall tile and 20” X 20” 3.5mm floor tile. Because of the existing conditions which included uneven patches of mismatched tile, uneven surfaces and height limitations, the owner and designer agreed that the thin panel porcelain should be installed over the existing 2” X 2” mosaic tile.The owner and designer asked if we had any experience with tile over tile applications; we confidently said yes. The only stipulation we expressed was that all the setting and grouting materials had to be TEC.
We contacted TEC’s technical department and asked which mortar to use. We were told to use TEC’s Ultimate Large Tile Mortar for the 40” X 40” wall tile and 20” X 20” floor tile. Because of our previous experience with setting tile over tile we knew the only membrane to use to adhere to the existing tile was TEC’s 560 Multipurpose Primer, and in order to make sure that this installation would be “bulletproof” we recommended that TEC Power Grout be used to grout this installation. The biggest obstacle for this project was time constraints. We had 48 hours to install each restroom so that the employees had use of the restrooms by Monday morning.
Because of our prior experience using TEC products and by using CTEF Certified installers, we were able to surgically strike, dropping in our highly trained installers to complete our mission and then exiting the tactical area of responsibility without any casualties. We cleaned the tile and applied the multi-purpose membrane. After letting the membrane set-up to manufacturer specifications, we then adhered the thin tile over the existing 2” X 2” mosaic tile. We checked coverage by pulling various pieces of wall and floor tile. The fact that the Power Grout sets up for regular foot traffic in four hours, gave us the extra time to install the tile correctly and per manufacturer specifications. We finished the project two hours before the company opened on Monday. The designer and owner are thrilled with the look of their new bathrooms. We consider this a victory for everyone.
