I am freely admitting up front that this blogg is far more of a irrational rant than an actual explanation of the picture. With that being said this bathroom mirror at a gas station of the Atlantic Coast irked me slightly more than a sliver of bamboo under my thumbnail would. This mirror set up defies all logic. I understand framing it in a wooden housing like this if it was in a rustic themed bathroom and the frame was actually reclaimed barn wood from the 1940’s. This was simply a double thick layer of 1 by 4 held together by twenty nails and 2 screws, I counted, fastened to the wall with a home made bracket. By the way, the nails were to long and jutted out the back and have been clipped off. Judging by the marks it was done with a wire cutter, and because the genius who made this used roofing nails, yes roofing nails, had to have notched the wire cutters in several places. I could understand this if mirrors were a rare find and must be reused and coveted, passed down from generation to generation, but they’re not. A passable picture hanger from home depot cost about 73 cents, and with less than 30 seconds (I timed it) of looking I found a wall mirror for 5 dollars. Bringing total cost to just under six bucks. Which is probably what this eye soar cost, but you know what my plan wouldn’t cost? 20 odd hours of manufacturing time.
