Wonder if they would let you run a metal detector around those buildings? Might be some nice coins laying around.
I saw an Astro van with those tracks on it today. I laughed at first, but that thing would probably go anywhere. I'll try to get a pic of it. |

OMG... I have many all-nighter smelting stories, most involving drunk finlanders.

It's been years since I've gone smelting. Was always a good time too.

It's been years since I've gone smelting. Was always a good time too. well... fun until you have to gut the whole 5 gallon bucket of 'em - but well worth it! I like 'em fried and dipped in catsup, like a fishstick. Man I miss that. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Here are some pics of my recent work. There are about a dozen or more structures on the Ranch, I'm working on 4 of them. Most of them are very old and rustic. These pics were taken from the inside of the only modern cabin on the ranch.
I have been installing chinking to the interior logs of this cabin. Chinking is the product that seals the logs together... as well as trim and structural beam penetration seals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see here, the trim voids were about fist-sized You can kinda tell by this pic that the product has a rich texture, rough to the touch as it has granular silica mixed in. I use a large pressurized gun to install it and finish it off with hand trowels and foam brush. ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

LOL IRON MUTIAN Hell my Dad was born and raised there; I been to the top of Pine Mountain ski Jump which my dad jumped off of for years. Miss fishing the wide waters of the Net |
