I save all my empties; may have to make me one of those. Actually, @Alaskan needs one.

That is great!

We put up skulls and bones this spring. They worked perfectly.

Whites just got a notification multi shootings in MD. Ugh

Crud. Two young officers were shot here two days ago. One fatally the other is doing ok. “Normal” disturbance at a gas station.

I know

Chimney guys are finally capping it off. Its a simple block chimney on the no seeum side of house. Contractor said he wouldn't paint it or anything. Says it's best blocks breathe... Any input anyone?

They are probably too wet to paint or seal now with all the wet weather. Any paint would peel off with alkaline leaching anyway. Not a basement situation I’d probably not paint it.

He may well be right. Our's is also a block chimney, painted yellow, & several blocks have cracks showing. Guess we'll have to replace it before too much longer; only been there 25-30 years.

Try driving 10 under the speed limit with this......
I might even tick you off.

Good Lord!!! Is that all one rig? 48 tires? I don't think they'd even let you into MD.
Tower sections?
I guess backing that thing is not an option.

I can see wisdom in letting it cure (dry out) for a few weeks.
But I would think that if not sealed blocks are porous. If they get wet, then freeze, they might crack and be damaged. Just my 2cents. I left the cold north as soon I got out of school. So my building experience in the north is out dated by 37 yr.
