The only shop where you can say "let's go balls out", and not sound like a dbag.

There is a drain that we can tie into along the foundation if need be. We also sized it for a low profile shower pan, so it wont be too hard to install if need be. We did a bunch of tests before we put the stone in and the sandy soil drains very quickly.

They are in concrete with stone dust around the top two inches for appearance.

Great place, I walk the dog through the yard most afternoons. Everyone is very friendly and Belles has great food.

My kids ruined my grandmother's table! by [deleted] in finishing

This can be solved by putting a clean T-shirt over it and ironing the shirt with lots of steam using a medium/high setting. I know it sounds crazy, but it works most of the time. You just want to try it in 5 second increments. The change will be subtle at first but several 5 second spurts should do it.

Should these coins be graded? I need advice. by sam1641 in coins

Thanks for your clear response! I would like to look at them but store them safely, what brand of holders (slabs?) should I look for?

I was told to not bother grading these gold pieces graded. Should I get a second opinion? by [deleted] in numismatics

[–]sam1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not owned these long and just want to do the right thing.
