7 DAYS * 36 FAMILIES * 100 POUNDS

The title of the globe is:
7 DAYS * 36 FAMILIES * 100 POUNDS
This refers back to the begining of this project and the collection of the junk mail I used to create the globe. I realized that with restarting the globe THREE (YES 3) times, I covered the surface of the sphere at least twelve times and did NOT use all the junk mail that was collected.
***FYI: The surface area of the globe is roughly 80 SQ. FT. ***

IT'S FINISHED!!! and what a long strange trip it's been.....
