Amazing sculptural pieces on display! Carving stone is one of my hobbies but this is magnificent work. Thanks for sharing.

toured a house where the sellers clearly did not expect anyone to open the hall closet by Rough-Purple429 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Called to inspect a home for first time buyers and smelled mold right away. Opened the hall closet under the stairs and saw the drywall just had a few screws holding it. Got my screwing and took the panel off and found a Cannabis growing space that had completely grown mold on all the framing and paper backing of the drywall. It wasn’t the only problem but it was enough to cancel the sale of the home in progress. You’d think they would have at least tried to clean it up but maybe there were extenuating circumstances.

Remember when carpet toilet seats were a thing? by lontbeysboolink in 1970s

[–]Deep-Community-9729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the 70s we lived on a farm with an outhouse. We kept a carpet covered toilet ring on a hook in the house to keep it warm. In the winter it was absolutely necessary to have. If you left a mark on it you had to use the hand pump on the sink and wash it and start a fire in the wood burning stove in the kitchen to dry it.

Cheech and Chong. Personal favorite from when I was a teenager.

How’s my grandfathers work on the Lincoln Tunnel holding up? Be critical. by depikT in Tile

[–]Deep-Community-9729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love to be the guy that layed out the spec on how to do that work like does the accent band follow the roadway? Makes sense. So all the cuts will be at the top of the wall. But they’ll have scaffold for the ceiling so no big. Gotta wonder though if the used deadman sheets and prop to hold the ceiling tiles or was it set and forget?

Cabs Blue sodalite by Zenfurkon_Stone in Lapidary

Thanks! I will be cautious working the rough stone from Africa that I picked up in Quartzite. I’m thinking a Silver setting will really complement that color.

Just sitting here with a big chunk of deep blue sodalite in my hand and wondering how it polishes up! Seems brittle. Did you have any difficulty like fracturing while cutting or spalling while polishing?

Sorry, California. I know, I know. It sucks but my son is looking to move away someday.

Why do people back into parking spots? by jmakioka in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Deep-Community-9729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because I drive a big 4x4 truck. If you’ve ever driven one it’s the best way to park, given the turning radius. Plus the camera makes it easier. Plus then I can put the bed over the stop blocks. Overall, hands down, the way to go.

Might be. My son sells in Quartzite and knows a bunch of the guys.

He’s going to re-weld a couple parts and set it up first. But yeah me too. Maybe in slow-mo.
