Extending my space -- mini version
I decided to use the window screen as a place to install my smaller version of the mirror. Most windows have them and they are the outermost layer of the sliding windows, so even if you open the window (or even lift the screen) there won't be a problem.
I bought a small mirror (12"x12") and adhesive hooks, and used some wire from the pcomp lab. I attached the hooks to the four corners of the mirror, and used the wire to attach the mirror to the screen. Attaching the top is a little tricky, and the wire has to be pretty long in order for the mirror to be tilted enough to show you the sky and not the side of the building. But overall it isn't too hard to do. I must say I am curious to see what happens when it rains. If the rain is too hard I imagine I can pull the wire that is attached to the top of the mirror in, so that it lies flat against the screen and is somewhat protected.
