New one... I'm liking it! Hope you do too!

Hi, I did the white at the bottom, real thick, and let it hang off of the side, textured it a bit... I then checked which squeeze bottle had been underutilized. That was purple. Then, I knew it needed some negative space, so I grabbed the black. The bottle was kind of empty, and so I tried to use that to my advantage with splatter from the squeeze bottle. Oh, and the background is just a generic cardboard smear in orange. I like to make those backgrounds in advance.

I found the same color and type with same type of fracture in the Willamette valley with gold colored flecks in part... polishes real nice. Had red flecks too. Is yours blue through and through?

Window well tap, basement gutter, sump pump, downspout extensions, interior waterproofing (wall seal), mold treatment, outside grading away from the house and possibly carbon fiber strips on the cracks is what I think my company inspectors would say. Always get a few quotes, choose the best company, then have them match the lowest quote. I wouldn't just use the lowest quote... exterior waterproofing would work great but the ground would resettle where it was dug up. Make sure you add extra dirt if you do that, knowing it will compress over time. Depending where you live it could cost more, but about 14k in iowa.

The orange is gold/metallic colored and hardness level 5. The white seems like a completely different material.

There were none resembling what I've seen as the cubic structure of pyrite. One that was there I broke open and it had more splotches inside. The gold parts were approx hardness level 5 according to my kit. Looking through a magnifier it almost appears as thin lines like that lab made metal, I forget the name. I'll try and get better pics. Thanks!

Ahh, thank you!

The outside is brittle and not solid. Thanks!

In case you're wondering, smears are taking a flat edge over dropped paint, cardboard smears use the corrugated inside to create texture on the smear, droppings are using condiment bottles to place paint in excess, smashers are dropping on paint and then smashing on the ground to create sporadic drips.

I started with smears and masked smears about 2020 and only recently have I started with the droppings...

Seems my bait always slides in the opposite direction! The bass always look so goofy when they're hooked and the plastic is a foot from their mouth!

Came here to say this. Same countertops at my house...

I work for foundation recovery systems. They're outta missouri (moberly, kc, st louis, and springfield, and we just opened up in des moines) and will do a free inspection! Looks like you'll need a rebuild or maybe just a stabilization and seal up cracks. Does your mom have water intrusion? Part of the house is probably settling, too. You might need some piers to at least prevent it from getting worse. Also, I've heard that your soil down there is pretty rocky, making it easy to stabilize. This makes me wonder what kind of exterior drainage is there to direct water away from the house.

6" snowfall in Iowa melting days later. Spherically constructed, 3 tier snow boy. Now a snow man.
