Good morning!!!!

... RS gonna be a fine fish tank you are making ...

mg,

Thanks ... I hope it turns out well. Once the silicone is fully cured - hopefully by this time Friday night/Saturday morning - I'll pull it out of the tank and do the final sculpting work on the front side and carve out all the caves and tunnels on the backside, as well as places for the pipe work and heater. Hopefully the die grinder and a rotary rasp will make short work of that. Then hit it with the heat gun to smooth it off.

Probably start later on Saturday applying the mortar for the surface texture/color.

This is where it's at so far, front side clearly needs some additional sculpting work to make the shapes look at little more organic/natural:

Couple of pics showing the creosote that came out of the chimney a couple of weeks ago when I started to clean it. Be interesting to see what comes out tomorrow, now that it's finally done:

Watch out, do some reading, my buddy bought a new HE topload washer and he hates it. It doesn't get the clothes as clean, it won't fill up with water very well. I think he wants to improve it by moving the water level switch if possible. Also says the clothes don't agitate as well.

In any HE washer you get what you pay for. We have had a premium Maytag HE washer that has gotten sustained usage since 2002 and it has always performed flawlessly.

Good morning. We are lucky that the wind has swung around away from the artic, today is a mild 11C/52F. No sign of the rain yet, although that will probably arrive in time to soak me when I go to town for an eye test. Although I moved here a few years ago, I have only recently changed to a local optician. They sent a form asking lots of vision related questions and it will be interesting to see what new fangled tests they come up with.

The boy is showing improvement over night. Have always had to ask him several times to do something and it always seemed like he had to figure out what we wanted. This morning once you get his attention he's following simple instructions with 1-2 prompts.

That is really encouraging. He must have found it strange to suddenly hear sounds so distinctly and have the volume knob turned up for everything going on around him.

good morning all. Making coffee and waiting for my brother and SIL to get up. Will head for home around 8am and hope to be there by 2pm; contractor will be there to show me what's been accomplished, and likely because he wants a progress payment.
Thanksgiving makes us remember what is most important in life. Although I have to tell you RS's fishtank is starting to look mighty impressive. :thumbsup:
