Even worse, the ground underneath the slab isn't stable. Last Thursday and Friday's work involved trying to shore up the underlying ground by drilling some 40 holes in the mosaic, shooting in liquid mortar, and using an industrial vacuum to suction the mortar underneath, to form a more solid base on which it could rest. The effort was unsuccessful. "First we have to figure out why it didn't work," Reiley said. "Then we have to explore all the options." One option is removing the mosaic, fixing it, and reinstalling it. But that's a last resort. "It would only happen if we absolutely exhausted all the other possibilities," Reiley said. "The problem is that after a couple of years of trying, we're running out of those possibilities." —Colin Miner
