the craft sitting on the garage floor. the white box is a portable vacuum cleaner used backwards to supply air A view of the bottom. The coffee can lid at the center helps shape the bubble when it inflates. There's 6 2-inch holes surrounding it to let the air out.
 
it doesn't like the bump between the garage and the driveway very much! hitting the grass doesn't sound all that good either! bye mom, see ya in a couple weeks... whoa - wouldn't want to drive over that oil slick!!!
 
the top side of the disk, notice the cleats that keep the plastic from ripping off at the staples... Paul gliding down the driveway. It likes very smooth surfaces best.
