Some of these materials I will be using are a premixed sand topping and an S grade mortar. I like them as they have no rocks and finish attractively. I do not much care for the institutonally grey color of the sand mix by itself so I thought I would mix the two and see if I can lighten the color. I need to refinish- recoat areas of a driveway. Sand mix worked well for many years as a patch but too much sand or something in the original pour has the natural water flow underneath popping out the surface in small holes that freeze-thaw into larger holes. Its a steep area that has some head pressure as a result. Reckon that lime will work for 10 years or so? Two different grades of sand, a little lime relative to the mass etc seems less risky than I first thought for a driveway resurfacer. Its only four or five hundred feet long so it won't take too long right?

Anyway I have collected a variety of mold shapes for pots. My wife wants to know why I have metal frames for barstools with no seat. or her old baskets. I think the shapes made with towels are cool. I also want to try the big pots where they are built up on a pile of sand either using a lazy susan spinning table or the mold knife that spins around from a central point.[ATTACH=full]586[/ATTACH]

I will be using straight portland and the usual components to build a base for a small generator house. Its just big enough to run our hvac system. Since we tend to have storms in the summer the heat and humidity become a brutality when the power is out. Modern construction materials with paper surfaces like sheetrock suffer mold if left exposed. Plus my wife would insist on evacuation. I had the area plumbed for gas fuel and electric connection so now its up to me to level a steep slope with a fireproof-resistant anyway structure so close to my home.
