COMMON BOX PROJECT

1) Hang the box on the wall.  There will have to be a good 3 feet between it and other boxes due to the long spring which is to be placed up top of the steeple behind the top clock face. The white feathers are to be placed in the ends of the spring as if flying
2) Unpack loose sand and sprinkle into the base of the box corners
3) Place loose shells into communion cup, create a good base for the battery powered light to shine upward.  It should be recessed so one could not see it thru the sliding lid(Yellow door with glass handle). This is key so that the light can shine upwards to illuminate the tattered translucent shell glued to the top.
4) Slide the door on from the top.  There is a bit of a catch, so you have to wiggle it a bit.
5) Snag the dog chain and connect it to GI Joe's hands as if they were gymnastic rings. Now hang the chain over the door knob.  Joe should be in crucifix position.  This is a little tricky, but can be accomplished to make it secure.  The black feathers are to be fed thru the Chain hoops and into pre-drilled holes on the anterior neck of Joe. Position the feathers as if in flight up and outta Hell!
6) Position the wooden plumbers ruler as the close up picture I provided shows.  The metal portion on the right hand side should extend down to be even with Joe's toe tips which should be pointing.  Here is the crucial  measurement of Joe to see if he is worthy of being in Heaven.
7) Time to place the long spring up on top, perfectly balanced by spinning the spring left or right, as needed.( reposition white feathers as needed to get them horizontal, as if wind was beneath them.  The long spring represents Joe's guardian angel.
8) I'd like to have a bit of sand placed on the floor, directly under the box.  This will happen naturally if you pack in the sand provided into the box to make a nice base for the cup to rest horizontally.
