Hello Dick:
Thank you for your post on Burns Square. I installed another dozen mosaics last week, including my favorite which is an octopus. I enlisted the help of a friend, Randy Lasalle-Fox, who does mosaics for a living. I can tell you it was very enjoyable to make the decorations for the sidewalk and the permits needed are fairly easy and inexpensive to get. I hope this encourages others think of ways they can improve their sidewalks when they need replacing.
