This is an announcement for the paper "Concrete constructions of non-pavable projections" by Peter G. Casazza, Matt Fickus, Dustin Mixon and Janet C. Tremain. Abstract: It is known that the paving conjecture fails for $2$-paving projections with constant diagonal $1/2$. But the proofs of this fact are existence proofs. We will give concrete examples of these projections and projections with constant diagonal $1/r$ which are not $r$-pavable in a very strong sense.
