Just gettin' ready to demolish the shipyard. Anybody interested in that water tower?

 

[Ed Corrigan]

It'll be fine.

Stay outta my kitchen.

I get that every day from the boss...

Hmmm....

You deliver?

I bought one, filled it with the jars the spices came in at the store, arranged them alphabetically, and memorized where they go. Then my wife moved them all. The thing was supposed to save space in my kitchen but now I have an entire drawer full of never used glass spice jars and label stickers and I can't even find anything.

My wife is into it. Gave her more shelf space so it's a double bonus.

That setup is super cool Leo. Sharp with the wood finish.

IKEA... LOL

Made if from one 8x32x7/8" board. Frugalness.

Can't believe the wife hadn't taken advantage of the newfound space on the shelves. But then again she left me again to go see the kids and grandkids at 2pm.

A little porch that I built about 15 years ago (?). I told them it won't last like stone or concrete, maybe get 10 or 15 years out of it. Freeze is a biotch on brick flatwork.

Got the call this spring to fix it up. They had the joint along the soldier course tuck pointed and the step done by someone else in the meantime.

A little grinding, a little tuck pointing, a new step...

Interesting with the black. Their choice?

Wet.

Yup. The new will fade to match when it dries.

 

[Leo G]

Wow, really? That's quite a contrast. Is it the camera or does it look like that?

Mortar colors are funny. They dry different shades with different weather, brick, how wet it was mixed in the first place.

It really looks like that. When it dries, it will match nicely.

 

[Leo G]

Seems amazing that black will go to whitish. Go figure.

Looks like you nailed it.

I was wrong. I noticed one of my snacks was back on the counter after I put it on the shelf. She has pasta there now. I knew she couldn't resist open space.

Existing is a lightly faded black. Some would call gray 😆.

I'll try to sneak over there in a few weeks for a pic after it cures.

Yup. The new will fade to match when it dries.

Match in color but not patina... after all, it took 10-15 years for that weather to do it's job... lol

Ed probably tried to sell a repoint for the entire shebang, they refused, so he thought to himself, “Hope ya like black mortar…”

“It’ll fade to match soon after my tail lights fade into the Ohier horizon.”

 

[Ed Corrigan]

That'll learn em.
